Integrating social responsibility with company management means taking into consideration the effects of business activities on all those who are directly or indirectly involved: customers, employees, suppliers, investors, companies, local communities, institutions and future generations.
By adopting the definition of CRS (Corporate Social Responsibility) proposed by ABI we believe that, besides profits and economic success, the socially responsible company must set itself the goal of creating value not only for the shareholders and partners, but for all the stakeholders.
Our view of social responsibility
In our Articles of Association, we propose to “represent the values of ethical finance in financial markets and focus the attention of the public on socially responsible investment and corporate social responsibility” (Article 4). Corporate social responsibility is, therefore, a founding principle that sets apart, not only our organizational structure and activities, but also the way we relate with all our stakeholders.
Policy, management, strategies and results
In our Social Responsibility Policy, we present our ESG identity, articulated through purpose, mission, and vision. We outline the values that inspire our actions, identify the mutual expectations with our stakeholders, and illustrate the strategies adopted to make the Company sustainable—from an economic standpoint as well as in terms of governance, social, and environmental aspects.
In the document, we explain how we behave regarding the various issues and how, through materiality analysis and stakeholder engagement activities, we identify the most relevant aspects to focus on.
To enable stakeholders to assess our actual compliance with strategic commitments and the impact of our actions, we use shared performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the results of the most relevant activities, which we publish periodically in a series of documents, including the Reports.
