In 2018, the Board of Directors of the parent company El.En. S.p.A. entrusted the Control and Risk Committee with the review of the company's sustainability policies and goals and the supervision of the related Plan; in 2021, this body changed its name to Control and Risk, Related Party Transactions and Sustainability Committee. Also in 2021, the desire to operate in a more responsible and integrated manner led to the decision to entrust the Executive Director in charge of the internal control system with the definition of the strategic sustainability guidelines, the Sustainability Plan and the review of the Consolidated NonFinancial Statement, in order to even more strongly guarantee an adequate oversight and monitoring of processes.. From the outset, there is a Global Sustainability Manager who plays a coordinating role in the entire process of defining preliminary activities, preparing the Sustainability Report and carrying out related activities. The Sustainability Manager proposes the Group-wide sustainability strategy by sharing it with the Executive Director in charge of Internal Control and then with the Top Management and sets the Sustainability Plan, defining its goals and coordinating all activities to fulfil the commitments, identifying areas and projects for improvement at Group level and monitoring the progress of existing projects. [...] The Sustainability Manager submitted the Plan to the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, which examined its content and feasibility and verified its consistency with the Group's strategy. The Sustainability Plan was then proposed and approved by El.En.'s Board of Directors and disclosed to all subsidiaries: the Plan includes new objectives concerning the fight against climate change, the circular economy, the promotion of a responsible supply chain, valuing people and contributing to the community and, through the setting of concrete and measurable goals, confirms the Group's commitment to promoting sustainable development and how environmental and social responsibility are an integral part of its business model for the El.En. Group. During the year, the Sustainability Manager illustrated the new Plan to all Group companies, identifying, in each company and in cooperation with the various contact persons, the areas for improvement and the relevant projects to be implemented on the basis of the objectives set.
