Social, economic and environmental sustainability are now prerequisites for market access and growth. These are objectives that the Italian exhibition sector has set itself at association level and that VeronaFiere has been anticipating for at least 15 years, comments Maurizio Danese, President of VeronaFiere. Now, the new path undertaken with ARB allows us to better understand our impact on the territory, making employees and stakeholders more aware of these issues, and to be among the first international exhibition operators to communicate these values correctly.

A challenge, reiterates Rosario Pistorio, that Sonatrach Rafineria Italiana takes up with an industrial model in which social, environmental and economic aspects are integrated, where sustainability and corporate social responsibility are closely related.

Through the path undertaken to obtain the SI Rating, we were able to gain an in-depth understanding of what it means to be a sustainable company from not only an environmental, but also a social and governance perspective. The great work of analysis and definition of future actions to be taken have highlighted how sustainability is increasingly a fundamental lever to define our strategic future.

SI Rating testifies our vision and, for this reason, obtaining it is a source of great pride. SI Rating is recent and innovative and we are happy to have been the first in our industry to obtain it, but we hope that other brands will follow our path.
