In 1974 we received the “Social Responsibility” award, a prize sponsored by Vision magazine and PA consulting firm that acknowledged our contribution to communities’ wellbeing through initiatives aimed at strengthening the industrial ecosystem while improving relations with the surrounding environment.

We pioneered ESG reporting, as our first report dates to 1979. We are proud to say that we were the first Italian company to publish a Social Report, which was issued by Battelle Centre de Recherche de Geneve institute and assessed our performance towards employees, consumers, local communities, shareholders, and other economic partners, besides financial assets. In particular, analyzing 1975, 1976 and 1977 activities, it included indicators that spanned tax contribution, territorial improvement, regional development, employment dynamics, training initiatives, and environmental impacts.

We started sharpening our ESG commitment long before becoming a publicly traded company: in 2018, we defined a clear ESG strategy and laid out specific targets to be monitored on a yearly basis, also establishing a sustainability governance framework. As we launched our IPO and listed in 2021, we formulated and strengthened a new ESG vision, preparing the ground for Rod to 100, our ESG strategic plan to 2030.
