The governance of sustainability and risk monitoring is entrusted to the Board of Directors, with the support of the Control, Risk, Remuneration, Appointments and Sustainability Committee (Single Committee), composed exclusively of independent and non-executive members. The Board of Statutory Auditors oversees compliance with regulations and principles of proper administration. Such bodies periodically review the corporate strategy, monitoring the effectiveness of the adopted policies and the achievement of sustainability objectives. Specifically, the results of stakeholder engagement and the analyses of impacts, risks, and opportunities that identified the material sustainability topics for Datalogic were submitted to the Sustainability Executive Committee for a completeness check and subsequently shared with the CEO. The Board of Directors, with the favourable opinion of the Single Committee in its role as sustainability committee and having heard the Board of Statutory Auditors, then approved double materiality [GOV-1, 20b, 20c, 22a, 22b, 22d, 26b]. The Executive Chairman and the Group CEO are responsible for the implementation of governance processes for the various heads of corporate functions and for structuring an integrated internal control system aimed at identifying and managing key risks, under the supervision of the Single Committee and the Board of Directors. The lines of responsibility are clear, with the Sustainability Executive Committee reporting to the CEO and the Executive Chairman. The Executive Chairman and the CEO inform the Board at least four times a year about the exercise of the powers delegated to them by the Board of Directors, ensuring constant monitoring of corporate strategies and their implementation. The Head of Internal Audit reports hierarchically and directly to the Chairman of the Board of Directors. [...] The governance bodies address and manage operational and financial risks, including the adjustment of market strategies and sustainability policies, while identifying innovation opportunities in the industrial automation sector. The sustainability strategy is managed by the Group CEO with the support of the Executives through a Sustainability Executive Committee, while the Board, with the support of the Single Committee, approves the long-term objectives and monitors their implementation [GOV-1, 22ci, 26c]. Datalogic has adopted a structured internal control system, with procedures applied by the heads of corporate functions whose activities are subject to periodic internal and external audits; the outcome of these audits is reported to the supervisory bodies. The assessment of the effectiveness of corporate strategies and sustainability impacts takes place through periodic reports provided by the Executive Bodies to the Board of Directors, with the support of the Single Committee and under the supervision of the Board of Statutory Auditors [GOV-1, 22ciii, 26b]. To ensure comprehensive understanding of the sector and sustainability dynamics, the Company has conducted informational activities for its directors and supervisory bodies, with periodic in-depth analyses managed by the executive directors and management [GOV-1, 23].
