Italy’s 100 excellences in the field of sustainability
There are the finest names in Italian business, not only family-owned, but also companies known only to insiders in a specific sector, among the 100 excellent Italian companies that have been fully included in the ranking of sustainable companies compiled by Credit Suisse and Kon Group. All have Esg ratings issued by Altis Università Cattolica and Reprisk.
Kon Group, Italy’s leading player in corporate and financial consulting to businesses, the first national independent player in m&a with emblazoned institutional partners, and Credit Suisse, one of the world’s leading banks that has been promoting sustainable investments for years and plays a key role in supporting entrepreneurs to find new solutions for major social and environmental problems, wanted to give the Italian business system two assets: a greater awareness of corporate sustainability through the measurement, with the Esg rating, of the results achieved and the areas of improvement to be implemented, and a high visibility thanks to the partnership with Forbes Italy which will be given continuity through the organizers’ investment in a dedicated Sustainability Award business community where exclusive content and meetings with other participants can be accessed. An exclusive club, in short, that serves to continuously stimulate improvement in sustainability and the rapid achievement of ever higher levels of ESG ratings with consequent positive impacts on the entire community.
It was not easy to identify the 100 excellent companies of Italian Sustainability: the rigorous criteria by which the rating was given by Altis and the cross-checking of the results through the Reprisk rating, allowed the organizers of this first edition to select the companies that have most distinguished themselves and have often been operating for years for sustainable production. Among the elements that were relevant for rating purposes, the innovative propensity in governance and social was particularly deepened.
In the rating method developed by Altis, in a nutshell, each element was evaluated through the consideration of multiple dimensions:
- Essential: The dimensions without whose presence it is difficult to declare that a company is sustainable
- Basic: The dimensions that contribute to making a company sustainable.
- Advanced: The dimensions that identify excellence in sustainability in a specific Esg domain.
This approach has led to the emergence of significant evidence in both positive and negative directions. Some companies, in fact, received significant penalties for lack of minimum requirements, often concentrated in the governance area but sometimes also in the environmental area. As a result of the rigorous application of these criteria to the self-assessment questionnaires, 200 interviewed companies were selected from the 350 eligible candidates, and among them the 100 samples.
The organizers have pledged to personally deliver the ESG rating reports to all participants and will organize one-on-one meetings with each one in the coming months to delve into the elements of improvement with respect to the current situation and prepare, also thanks to the community, the way for the second edition, which, in addition to the current participants, wants to further expand the audience of sustainable companies to which this great opportunity for visibility will be offered.
As a mobility partner, it has been joined by Bmw Group, which is steadily picking up the pace in its efforts against climate change. Looking ahead, the company is further strengthening its goals to significantly reduce C02 emissions. The most important driver on the path to climate neutrality is electric mobility. Already by 2030, at least half of the BMW Group’s global sales will be all-electric vehicles. The new Bmw iX and Bmw i4 are the two core models of this electric offensive. As part of its holistic approach to sustainability, the Bmw Group plans to significantly increase the proportion of secondary materials in its vehicles to 50 percent.
