Executive Summary of the Company’s Transformation:
In 2015, the company launched its sustainability project, which will run until 2030, and has since implemented significant changes. At the heart of the strategy are climate protection, conscious use of resources, and social responsibility. The aim of the project is to maximize the use of green energy in production, optimize the energy sources of the site, and increase the efficiency of activities supporting manufacturing.
At the start of the project, the company faced numerous challenges, including a high reliance on fossil fuels and efficiency issues. In recent years, we have made substantial progress, particularly in energy efficiency investments and the application of innovative technologies.
The impacts of the project include the reduction of the company’s carbon footprint, optimization of energy consumption, and the introduction of sustainable operational practices. Through these measures, the company has not only achieved its environmental goals but also become more economically competitive and strengthened its social responsibility. Sustainability has thus become an integral part of the company’s operations and strategy.
“Our insurer’s calling, which involves preparing people for unexpected situations, has evolved with our commitment to sustainability: we need to do this while identifying, assessing, and managing ESG risks and opportunities in a responsible and forward-looking manner. Sustainable corporate operations require serious commitment and investment, which we are often tempted to postpone for short-term advantages. I am proud that at the Generali Group, we do not see our corporate transformation as a surrender but as a conscious investment in our future.”
