We are committed to making sustainability one of the key drivers of our business strategy, and to ensuring this approach is reflected in the services we deliver to our clients.
We actively support the 10 Principles of the UN Global Compact relating to human rights, labour standards, the environment, and the fight against corruption.
Progress on implementing these principles is reported annually to our stakeholders.
We also participate in national and international forums dedicated to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability.
Since 2016 these include Fondazione Sodalitas, the Italian partner of CSR Europe, as well as Transparency International and its Italian working group Business Integrity Forum, which supports voluntary anticorruption initiatives.
In December 2020, we formalised our membership of Valore D, the first association of companies in Italy that promotes gender balance and an inclusive culture within organisations.
Our path towards sustainability involves both internal and external measures;
We help our customers take strategic decisions in relation to sustainability, environmental and social impacts, stakeholders' engagement and sustainable growth and we support them in the implementation of their sustainability strategy.
