Stakeholder engagement
The map identifies the main categories of stakeholders - both internal and external to the Group. In particular, we considered stakeholders for whom the Group has responsibility, as well as those that can influence performance. Their proximity, significance and authority were also considered.
For each group of stakeholders are listed the main channels for listening and dialogue, mapping the activities carried out by various corporate departments with the aim of understanding needs and expectations, communicating the results achieved and programmes promoted to ensure the sustainable development. Responsibility for the relationship with the various stakeholders is widespread throughout the entire Group and it is an element that requires constant monitoring as part of our day-to-day activities.
