Design, Sustainability 
Sustainability consulting and strategic coordination for the concept, development and publication of the Sustainability Plan 2022-2024 for an international group with more than 550 employees and worldwide divisions.
Sustainability Plan
2022-2024
With a strong international presence and more than 40 years of history, the Sustainability Plan 2022-2024 represented the beginning of a path of long-term commitment by establishing a first measurement of the company’s environmental, social and governance performance.

The collaboration led to an initial disclosure of information in a comprehensive and effective report and has set the ground for starting a systematic engagement of corporate divisions and an ongoing sustainability performance monitoring.
