The following table shows:
- the principal categories of stakeholder;
- the themes felt to be priorities;
- the activities involving listening, dialogue and
consultation held during the year.
In order to work towards achieving the goal of greater involvement, in 2019 an “abstract” booklet was produced for the first time, containing the most significant topics from the 2019 Sustainability Report.
This document was conceptualised with the aim of making information more easily usable and more immediately readable, so that the document itself could be distributed more widely.
The booklet is given out to every customer that
visits Ratti, at trade shows, and often accompanies a delivery of sustainable textiles (organic or recycled
fabric samples) or company profiles. Involving the main stakeholders has allowed the Ratti Group to establish
a productive dialogue as well as relationships involving solid cooperation, in which no critical issues are reported.
