Indicator Center
Our precept is to act with responsibility and transparency in disclosing concrete data about our commitments, goals and management practices linked to the sustainability agenda. We provide the Indicator Center to monitor our evolution over the years and the Frequently Asked Questions section, where the main information about our strategic pillars was listed.
Indicator Center
The Indicator Center presents the sustainability data that we monitor in a three-year historical series (2020, 2021 and 2022), divided into nine macro themes. The indicators were collected based on the methodologies of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Boarding (SASB) and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and correlated with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Commitment with Minerva Foods Sustainability.
