Holistic approach

A holistic approach to sustainability

At Italpreziosi, sustainability is not an isolated goal, but the foundation of constant evolution and a long-term vision, achieved by integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into our corporate strategy.

From climate resilience to social responsibility, our business model is inspired by international standards and recommendations (TNFD, TCFD, SBTi, UNGC) and the pillars of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, driving a business model focused on impact assessment and risk management across the value chain.

Climate change, energy efficiency, use of renewable energy sources, pollution, biodiversity and nature, use of natural resources, waste management.

Social (S1, S2)
