For the third year in a row, Growens publishes its <\/span>Sustainability Report<\/span><\/a>. The new 2021 edition includes several innovations: an updated materiality matrix, new topics related to risk management, and an increasingly accurate reporting about aspects related to society, innovation, environment and security.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the<\/span> letter to the Stakeholders<\/span><\/a>, signed by the Chief Executive Officer Nazzareno Gorni and by the Chairman Matteo Monfredini, the Sustainability Report is introduced as it follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn its third edition, this Report is part of an <\/span><\/i>increasingly articulated & strategic sustainability path<\/i><\/b>, which aims at the progressive integration of ESG issues in every aspect of the Group\u2019s business \u2013 from people-oriented policies to climate positive initiatives.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The goal for 2022 is to <\/span><\/i>draft a comprehensive Sustainability Plan<\/i><\/b> that will guide future strategic choices\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Once again, it is possible to perceive how the principle of “caring” – for the people and for the environment – keeps being at the base of every decision taken by the Group. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In particular, during 2021 the activities that had already begun in previous years were continued and some new initiatives were launched, in order to better respond to the Stakeholders\u2019 needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sustainability Report: goal, standards and methodology <\/b><\/h2>\n

The document was drawn up with the aim of sharing the values, the strategies and the performances linked to the whole Group’s economic, social and environmental impacts, in a transparent way.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sustainability Report is issued on a voluntary basis by the Group, which does not fall within the category of large public interest <\/span>entities required to report their non-financial performance,, according to the Legislative Decree 254\/2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since sustainability provides the basis for Growens\u2019 work, the Sustainability Report was drawn up following\u00a0 the goals proposed by the <\/span>UN 2030 Agenda<\/span><\/a> for Sustainable Development (SDGs).<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, the report was composed in accordance with the <\/span>GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards<\/b> guidelines, issued in 2016 by the Global Reporting Initiative, according to the \u201ccore\u201d application level.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Report covers the period from <\/span>1 January – 31 December 2021<\/b>.To account for its activities, Growens created an internal group within the company, with the task of collecting the information required for the drafting of the document.<\/span><\/p>\n

Materiality analysis<\/b><\/h2>\n

As required by the procedure, before collecting the data, Growens performed the so-called “Materiality Analysis”. This analysis allows to identify the most significant issues for the Stakeholders, in order to provide them with an adequate overview of these topics.<\/span><\/p>\n
