Sustainability Plan

The Group continues to integrate environmental and social aspects into its way of operating, as demonstrated by the 2020-2025 Strategic Sustainability Plan, now completed. The Plan focused on five strategic priorities: climate change and biodiversity, circular economy, responsible sourcing, valuing diversity and supporting local communities.

SIDE BY SIDE

Based on the results achieved and the evidence that emerged during the period of implementation of the 2020-2025 Plan, the Group has defined a new 2026-2028 Sustainability Plan. The Plan, called SIDE by SIDE, is based on the belief that the results we aspire to cannot be achieved individually, but are the result of a shared path, in which each step forward is shaped by dialogue, collaboration and trust, built with the people and organisations that accompany the Group on its journey. It is divided into four strategic pillars that will guide the Group’s actions and commitments in all environmental and social aspects.

For each strategic priority, the Group has defined a series of commitments based on a careful analysis of the areas where it can amplify positive impacts and reduce negative ones. This analysis takes into account both industry-specific challenges and the expectations of stakeholders, including the financial community, clients, suppliers, associations and employees. By integrating risk management with the exploitation of opportunities, the Plan aims to disseminate structured practices along the entire value chain, ensuring consistency between strategy, governance and operational processes.
