Our Commitment to a Sustainable Future
At Gruppo 24 ORE, we are dedicated to promoting sustainability in every aspect of our operations. Our mission is to contribute to sustainable economic development by combining long-term profitability with social justice and environmental protection. We aim to be a cultural benchmark for the country, viewing sustainability not only as a goal but as a means to inspire societal transformation.
In recent years, we have accelerated our commitment in this area. We established the ESG and Technological Innovation Committee and created the Innovation and Sustainability Directorate, which developed MyESG to better coordinate and manage our sustainable initiatives. We approved the first ESG Plan in our group's history, founded on two strategic directions: digital transformation and people engagement. We have received significant recognitions, such as the Gender Equality Certification, and joined the UN Global Compact Network. Through the creation and dissemination of content across our media and events, we promote a culture of sustainability, encouraging individuals, stakeholders, suppliers, and businesses to embark on a path towards a more responsible future. To achieve this goal, we adopt a dual approach: internal transformation, with MyESG, and external, through ESG24.
MYESG:
Internal Transformation for Tangible Sustainability
Gruppo 24 ORE is committed to reducing its environmental impact, promoting social inclusion, and ensuring responsible governance.
Environment: Reducing Environmental Impact
We harness innovation to reduce CO2 emissions both within and outside our offices. Our Milan office is BREEAM Lead certified, and we continuously implement relayout and relamping interventions in Rome to enhance environmental sustainability. We use 100% renewable energy and promote smart working to reduce the impact of transportation. Additionally, we participate in circular initiatives such as waste exchange and encourage sustainable mobility across all company levels.
Social: Inclusion and Well-being
We promote diversity and inclusion through targeted programs and initiatives. In December 2022, we became the first media company in Italy to receive Gender Equality Certification. We adhere to best practices such as the UN Global Compact and participate in the Parks Index on LGBTQAI+ issues. We offer extensive training on sustainability and specialized skills, with over 80% of employees participating. We invest in employee well-being by providing contributions for nurseries, hosting sustainable workshops, and supporting solidarity initiatives.
Governance: Responsible and Effective Management
We set clear objectives for management on ESG matters and oversee integrated risk management with a focus on sustainability.
