Strategies, policies, objectives and results

Driven by the desire to pursue responsible development of our business, we have defined an integrated strategy able to combine business growth and financial solidity with the principles of social and environmental sustainability, creating long-term value.

Sustainable growth, enhancement of human capital, reduction of direct and indirect environmental impacts and attention to social issues are the four areas of responsibility in which we have incorporated targets and projects for the responsible development of the group and our stakeholders.

In order to effectively incorporate the four strategic areas in all our activities, we have employed specific group policies.

The Group Sustainability Policy

The Group Sustainability Policy was created with the objective of governing our direct impacts, by identifying the roles, responsibilities and priority sustainability issues. Based on the 10 principles of the Global Compact, the Policy applies to all group companies, by integrating with all other guidelines, procedures, directives and provisions connected with the areas identified.

Combatting corruption

We are committed to carrying out our activities in compliance with the highest ethical standards and we do not tolerate acts of active or passive corruption

Protection of Human Rights

We protect and promote Human Rights in conducting our business activities and in managing relations with stakeholders

Environment and climate change

Our choices are based on guaranteeing compatibility between economic initiative and environmental requirements.

Diversity and inclusion

We believe in the importance of developing the various prospects and experiences through an inclusive culture

Group Policy on Responsible Lending and Investing

The Group Policy on Responsible Lending and Investing was drafted with the objective of effectively managing our indirect socio-environmental impacts, thanks to the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in our financing, investing and advisory model.

Objectives strategic plan 2019-23

As proof of our commitment to integrating sustainability in the group’s business and financial strategies, we have included some quantitative sustainability targets in the strategic plan.

The targets have also been defined with the objective of contributing to the attainment of 6 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals for the generation of positive change at global level.
