Sustainability is key to how SDF works.
SDF presents the Sustainability Report, which outlines the organisation’s goals, activities, impacts, and outcomes for its stakeholders. This edition of the Sustainability Report sees SDF formalise an annual commitment to communicate on the subject, providing a key resource for managing and reporting on economic, environmental, and social sustainability.
The materiality analysis is key to preparing the Report, aiming to pinpoint the most important economic, environmental and social issues for the company and its stakeholders.
The analysis process identified the material topics that the company sees as vital for creating value in the short, medium, and long term for the business, its staff, the environment, and the wider community.
The aims of the SDF Sustainability Plan are drawn from the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations in September 2015 to guide sustainable businesses until 2030. SDF will therefore effectively concentrate its efforts on the following SDGs:
• 3 GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
• 8 DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
• 9 DUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
• 15 LIFE ON EARTH
SDF is committed to helping to look after the environment, a vital resource for us all.
The environmental management system allows SDF to plan, carry out, and monitor its operations, as it pursues a balance between economic and environmental needs according to rules and regulations, while always trying to protect the environment more effectively.
Passion, professional expertise, dependability and a sense of belonging are the core characteristics of SDF’s people. This, in turn, forms the culture of the entire group.
The company supports its employees throughout their working life, listening to their needs, maximising their abilities, promoting their growth through training, and helping them to develop and discover their talents and skills.
Health and safety schemes help to create and maintain a lively, engaging atmosphere, continuously boosting people’s happiness and motivation.
Staying true to its founders’ principles and inspired by Francesco Cassani’s spirit, SDF avoids business and financial speculation. Management is committed to treating all employees fairly and works hard to stop any rivalry between team members.
The Group encourages openness and keeps its shareholders regularly updated, following all relevant laws and rules. SDF knows how its business impacts the environment and society, both directly and indirectly. Accordingly, it has pinpointed how it should act responsibly towards its stakeholders and achieves this by promoting a company culture that is in line with regulations and international best practices.
