RATTI GROUP | Sustainability report 2019
Letter from the Chairman
For the third consecutive year, we are publishing our sustainability report. This work has been carried out following a model that seeks to highlight the quality of relationships, within a context that includes not only financial, but also social and environmental aspects.
The objective of this document is to reflect more deeply on the projects carried out and the choices made, and on the values that have guided our actions and the relationships that we have constructed, not only within the company, but also externally.
On the seventy-fifth anniversary of our foundation, I would like to underline significant features of our identity, established, right from the start, as a home to creativity and beauty. We are talking about fundamental elements of our daily life and our work. A reason for pride and for responsibility in following our goals and bringing to fruition the projects that this document narrates.
My personal thanks go to the commitment shown
by all our staff. We are confident we will be able to achieve new goals, in the knowledge that there is still much work to do, but we are equally aware that with commitment, talent and creativity we will continue along the path we have taken.
Letter from the CEO
Our sustainability report confirms, for the third year, this important process of providing information of benefit
to all our stakeholders, with the aim of raising their awareness of the impact our Group has not only on a financial, but also on an environmental and a social level. This is precisely the goal of this document – to make transparent and give greater visibility to the activities carried out and increase their legitimacy and approval from a perspective of responsible business strategy.
By means of our latest report we wish to provide concrete evidence of the process of innovation and development that is under way in the company, and to explain all our projects, seeking to respond to old needs and new to construct, together, a new chapter in the history of Ratti. In order to achieve all of this, significant production and organisational changes have been implemented in order to maintain the right balance between economic sustainability and the practical realisation of ideas and projects.
All choices made and all changes implemented always aim to support growth and, at the same time, ensure that we never reduce our focus on the people who, through their work and their creativity, contribute to everything we will describe in these pages. It is, indeed, through a responsible contribution from everyone that Ratti, again in 2019, has been able to grow and to remain a leading player through its art of savoir-faire. On the occasion
of our seventy-fifth anniversary, the past, present and future represent the levels at which one measures the credibility of our responsibility in a process that involves us all, with the objective of constructing a Group in which each of us can express our potential and our own creative flair with regard to neighbours and the environment that surrounds us.
