Letter to the Stakeholders - from the 2024 Sustainability Report

Dear Stakeholders,

We are pleased to present the new Sustainability Report of Angelini Industries, the industrial Group founded in Ancona over a century ago. Today, our Group operates in 21 countries, employs thousands of people and continues to deliver solid and growing financial results. 

While we have experienced change, innovation and profound transformation, one thing has remained constant: our commitment to creating long-term value for people, the areas we operate in and the communities we serve. 

For us, Sustainability first and foremost means this: to pursue each day our raison d’être of Unwavering care, which represents the Group’s purpose. We live in a time when the word Sustainability is increasingly polarized – caught between enthusiastic endorsement and instrumentalization. To us, Sustainability is, and has always been, a long-term, positive-impact choice. We firmly believe that true competitiveness and resilience come solely from choices that are sustainable, in economic, social and environmental terms, over time. It is increasingly the younger generations, future workers and consumers, who are urging us to embrace greater transparency, inclusivity and a long-term vision.

We leverage Sustainability as a driver of impact and performance, not merely a tool for risk mitigation, but rather a catalyst for opportunity. Over the past few years, we have consolidated an industrial model focused on upskilling and refining our people’s skills, embedding environmental and social considerations across our varied business sectors.

In 2023, we laid the groundwork with our first Sustainability Plan, setting clear milestones to 2026 and establishing a long-term vision for 2030.

In 2024, we turned targets into actions; to name but just a few:

• investments in green technologies and the procurement of electricity from 100% renewable energy sources for our facilities in Italy;
• scientific and industrial partnerships, such as Angelini Pharma’s LIFE-GREENAPI project, aimed at making the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients more sustainable;
• development of innovative solutions, such as Angelini Technologies - Fameccanica’s new patented, integrated and environmentally-friendly Greenpackt® packaging system;
• performance of the Group’s first carbon footprint and climate risk assessment;
• recognition of Angelini Wines & Estates’ outstanding proficiency and ability to coax the best from its vineyards with a 100 points score for Amarone Bertani from James Suckling and classification as Wine of the Year for 2024;
• LEED Platinum and LEED EBOM Gold certifications for our headquarters “Casa Angelini,” a virtuous model of innovative and sustainable architecture;
• Angelini Ventures’ investments in four biotech and agetech startups;
• UNI/PdR 125:2022 certification for Gender Equality and recognition as a Top Employer Europe for Angelini Pharma;
• human capital enhancement, with around 39 hours of training per employee, for more than 150 thousand hours of training in total;
• launch of an Observatory on young people and sustainability.

Looking ahead to 2025 and the years to come, we are committed to strengthening this trajectory and openly sharing the progress of our sustainability journey.
