In the last few years, the issue of environmental sustainability has been a top priority, almost definitively directing the business choices of entire sectors in order to safeguard our planet from an increasingly uncertain future in terms of resource scarcity, contamination, poverty and discrimination at the global level. These premises make the duty to develop a coherent sustainability strategy, a key element in our business model, even more crucial.
