CHIGNOLO D’ISOLA (Bergamo) — Carimali Group presents the VEA Group’s first Sustainability Report, marking a crucial milestone in their commitment to a sustainable future and highlighting its contribution to global sustainability efforts. “This Report marks only the beginning of the group’s journey in measuring, documenting, and publishing the efforts made to contribute to a sustainable future” – comments Umberto Doglioni Majer, President of VEA Group – “We must make it our duty to minimize our company’s impact on the environment, to provide sustainable solutions for our customers, and, whenever possible, to use our resources to do good in the world”.
The Report offers a detailed view of company practices according to ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) criteria, which evaluate the Group’s environmental, social, and governance performance.
The Governance section examines how the Group is guided and managed, with particular attention to transparency in corporate decisions and choices. For VEA Group, being a socially responsible company goes beyond merely fulfilling applicable legal obligations. It involves constantly increasing investments in human capital, the environment, and stakeholder relations. Key points include innovation and development, financial performance, ethics, and governance.
The section on the Social criteria analyses the Group’s impact and relationships with the territory, people, employees, suppliers, and customers.
Within the VEA Group, individuals are considered crucial and valuable resources for the company’s proper functioning. A focus on workers’ physical safety and well-being is a priority, one that is pursued by ensuring a safe and peaceful environment in which respect for everyone is guaranteed. Key aspects include health and safety in the workplace, corporate well-being, and community involvement.
Finally, the Environment section evaluates how the Group behaves towards the environment in which it operates. Respect for the environment is at the heart of the VEA Group’s reflections on sustainability. It is committed to providing sustainable solutions to its stakeholders and using the resources available to differentiate itself in the coffee industry. Efforts focus on efficient infrastructure, circular economy, and atmospheric emissions.
VEA’s first Sustainability Report is available on the Carimali website and at VEA Group Sustainability Report 2023.
