Dear Readers,
we are pleased to present the third Sustainability Report of the Petrone Group, relating to 2024. In a complex international context, we have continued to grow by strengthening our presence across different sectors and investing in innovation, internationalization, and sustainability.
We have extended reporting to all companies, adopted the new European standards, and reinforced ESG governance with the Sustainability Committee and dedicated representatives. On the cultural front, the project “Values in Action” was launched, placing sustainability at the heart of our vision.
In 2024, for the first time, we calculated the Group’s Carbon Footprint, launching a decarbonization plan. Euromed Pharma Services joined SBTi, while Euromed Pharma obtained the EcoVadis Bronze Medal, promoting sustainability throughout the supply chain.
For our people, we introduced the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policy, started an ESG training program, and strengthened engagement in social and community projects.
We firmly believe that economic growth and responsibility can reinforce one another: we will continue to integrate ESG criteria into all our activities to build a more inclusive and regenerative future.
Enjoy your reading,
The Chairman
