The Sustainability Plan represents the Group’s strategic vision on ESG issues and is an indispensable tool for setting its goals and the actions and projects to be implemented to achieve them.
The El.En. Group Plan is five years long and sets 12 sustainability goals and 27 concrete actions to achieve them.
Each objective is linked to a specific macro-area (Environment, People, Community, Innovation, Governance, and Supply Chain) and the related material topics of the area.
In the process of laying down the Sustainability Plan, we also took into account the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), goals promoted by the United Nations and published in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development; we also identified the Group’s sustainability goals that we believe, with our commitment, can contribute to the achievement of, in particular, nine of the seventeen SDGs, which the Group recognises as relevant to its business and in line with its own guidelines.
The Plan’s objectives are updated annually and take into account the results achieved and those still to be achieved, as well as new needs that emerge over time.
Below are the goals contained in the plan, the results achieved, and the targets for the next five years.
