EPTA IS AMONG THE SIGNATORIES OF THE MANIFESTO “BUSINESS FOR PEOPLE AND SOCIETY” PUBLISHED BY UN GLOBAL IMPACT NETWORK ITALIA

Epta signs the Manifesto “Business for People and Society”: a text drawn up by UN Global Compact Network Italia, the local network of the United Nations Global Compact initiative, with the goal of strengthening the role of the social dimension of sustainability in companies and generate value in supply chains.

The Global Compact, a special initiative of the United Nations Secretary-General, has the mandate to guide and support the global business community in promoting the SDGs and the values of the United Nations through responsible practices. With more than 20,000 companies and more than 3,500 non-profit signatories based in 167 countries and 62 local networks, it is the world’s largest business sustainability platform.

10 PRINCIPLES FOR A MORE INCLUSIVE, EQUAL AND PROSPEROUS SOCIETY

Epta aligns its operations and strategies with the ten principles of the Manifesto, actively committing itself to creating a more inclusive, equal and prosperous society through practical measures and investments in favour of the training and well-being of workers and against all kinds of discrimination and inequality.

Beyond the mere regulatory compliance, the Group supports collective actions and corporate finance synergies, choosing to measure its social impact with specific KPIs and transparent reporting, as a virtuous example able to inspire and involve new business realities.

With the intent of documenting such progress, Epta has recently published the Integrated Report 2023, which illustrates the results achieved by the Group in terms of Sustainability and Innovation which, based on the main SDGs of the United Nations, include decent working conditions, economic growth, gender equality and battle against poverty and climate change.

Signing the Manifesto – Business for People and Society – of UN Global Compact Network Italia is a further milestone for Epta in the transition towards an increasingly sustainable and inclusive business model, in line with the ESG goals of the Group, enshrined in the 2024-2027 Strategic Plan.

Finally, this commitment strengthens the dedication of the Group to building a resilient ecosystem which merges excellent financial performance with the active promotion of an inclusive culture directed at the well-being of the workers and the entire community in which it works.
