The sustainability strategy, integrated with the business model, has outlined a model of doing business focussed on sustainable growth objectives and is based on five pillars. Governance, Climate and Emissions, Business Sustainability, People, and Communities.

The synergy between common benefit and sustainability strategy.
The pillars of the Company’s sustainability strategy are closely related to the common benefit purposes that Plenitude, as a Benefit Corporation (Società Benefit), is committed to pursuing in its Bylaws, fulfilling the regulatory requirements for Benefit Corporations (Società Benefit), under Law No. 208/2015.


With its business model, the Company is actively committed to contributing to 10 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations 2030 Agenda.

Our five pillars

Governance

Corporate governance is the Company's administration and control system, the instrument for creating lasting value for shareholders and all stakeholders.

Governance is based on the Company's values, which guide the performance of activities in compliance with the principles of integrity and transparency, promoting ethical behaviour and inclusive culture, and contributing to building a relationship of trust between the Company and its stakeholders.

Stakeholder engagement and Materiality Analysis

For Plenitude, the direct involvement of all stakeholders and constant dialogue with them are key elements in creating shared value and establishing relationships of trust, transparency and integrity. For this reason, further to giving a voice to all its stakeholders on an annual basis, directly involving them in the definition of priority sustainability issues, the Company constantly strives to promote open and transparent dialogue to share information, values and visions.

During 2023, Plenitude updated its materiality analysis, i.e. the process of identifying sustainability topics relevant to the business and its stakeholders. In line with the previous year, the Company has adopted a methodological approach based on the impact materiality guidelines, described by ‘GRI 3: Material Topics 2021'. The process involves identifying material topics based on the significance, i.e. the level of benefit or severity, of the related positive and negative impacts, actual and potential, that the organization generates or could generate on the economy, society (including human rights aspects) and the environment.

The materiality analysis process is structured into four main stages:
