5.1 At the forefront of communicating sustainability
Strengthened by the conviction that one should not rest on the laurels of results achieved
and in order to continue its commitment
to implementing best practices with regard
to sustainability, during 2018 Ratti took part, as an interlocutor, in a series of encounters and training events with the schools
of the region, partner companies,
and other organisations in the sector.
For the Group, sustainability is strongly linked
to the values of a business and, like these, must be communicated and shared.
Among these initiatives, Ratti chose to host
the participants of the Textile Sustainability Conference organised by Textile Exchange in order to share and publicise the sustainability project undertaken. The Textile Sustainability Conference, which brought together brands, buyers and companies from all parts of the textile world, with the objective of creating an idea of a more sustainable and responsible textile industry,
took place in Milan. It had over 800 participants with 145 speakers from 43 countries.
Among moments of training and interaction with students, during the corporate strategy course of the Executive MBA of the Il Sole 24 Ore Business School, the CEO was asked to present Ratti as a successful case-history for the Marzotto Group. Still
in this vein, the CEO was invited to the Executive MBA di ALTIS course of the Università Cattolica
del Sacro Cuore to present to students
the journey undertaken by the company in terms of environmental and social sustainability.

a road that is paved with creativity
and style.
Ratti prints have always married
local experience with strong internationalisation, which may be understood as
a meeting and exchange of cultures and knowledge.

Ratti’s leading role in “Trame d’Azienda”
Randstad Italia, the second-largest global human resources services operator, has chosen Ratti for “Trame d’Azienda”, a storytelling project that recounts success stories of textile innovation and manufacturing.
The project involves the use of an interactive online platform that
allows the user to visit the factories and to understand how the different production departments function in the Italian quality textile industry, and to hear stories and interviews with the leaders of the most innovative Italian companies in the sector. “With this initiative we are seeking to turn our gaze on a sector in which tradition
and innovation live together and to share the stories of the successful companies and workers which
are behind the creation of fine
fabric. Organisations participated
in this project that have known
how to survive crises and reinvent themselves, and that have managed to become known as the Made in Italy points of reference for the
sector, but that nowadays struggle
to find professional profiles that are specialised and have appropriate experience, and are now searching for people who are young and motivated and who they can help to grow in a sector with renewed vitality.” (Marco Ceresa, CEO of Randstad Italia).
