For the fifth consecutive year, Growens publishes its Sustainability Report<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2023 edition sees the light at the end of a deeply transformative year for the Group and brings some innovations, including an update of the materiality analysis and the introduction of new people-centered policies<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>With the sale of MailUp+Contactlab and Acumbamail to the TeamSystem group and that of Datatrics to the Spotler group, in 2023 Growens underwent the most significant transformation in its twenty-one years of activity. A transformation that affected the business, and also had a strong impact on people and the social composition in which Growens operates, from a variety of points of view.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

For this reason, a key commitment for 2023 was to take care of our people, supporting them in handling this evolution, both emotionally and professionally.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

We activated change management and group counseling courses, as well as a cornerstone plan to update technical and soft skills thanks to a public grant, enabling each person to find a new balance and to refocus their goals in the new company structure.<\/span><\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

These are the words, used by CEO Nazzareno Gorni<\/strong> and the President Matteo Monfredini<\/strong> to comment on the past year, as outlined in the Letter to the Stakeholders<\/a> in the 2023 Sustainability Report.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Like every year, a structured process was put in place to identify the main impacts that the Group’s activities have or could have on the ESG sphere. This enabled a detailed definition of the reference context both inside and outside the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

Growens first conducted a benchmark analysis on a sample of <\/span>15 competitors<\/b>, peers and comparable companies and then reviewed all the <\/span>existing internal documentation<\/b>, including the strategic plan, company policies and the sustainability plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, it carried out an analysis of public files, articles and other similar documents on the impacts generated by companies in the <\/span>IT industry<\/b>, ending with an assessment of the <\/span>main international standards and frameworks<\/b> adopted in sustainability reporting.<\/span><\/p>\n

The process went on with the impacts clustering, on the basis of their mutual level of affinity, obtaining a list of <\/span>15 ESG topics <\/b>that was subjected to quantitative assessment by the Top Management and a representative sample of the main categories of Group Stakeholders.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Such topics were split into 5 areas that were submitted to the main categories of Company Stakeholders through an <\/span>online questionnaire <\/b>(in Italian or English according to the recipient).<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the process, 3.30 was defined as the materiality threshold value, thus identifying and prioritizing 12 material topics for the Growens Group.<\/p>\n
