2020 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
CHAPTER 5
This is why our Sustainability strategy, which we present in this document, is based on an extensive investigation into our role as an industrial player. It will act as our compass on the road to 2030, project after project, and will contribute to the definition of a new long-term model of value creation that will meet the challenges of the coming decades.
CHAPTER 4
This past year has clearly and dramatically demonstrated to us all how strongly connected non-economic phenomena are with the economy. Now, we must face the new decade with that same clearheaded attitude, working towards achieving the critical sustainability goals defined by the 2030 Agenda. The extent of global climatic phenomena and profound social change at various levels will inevitably have an impact on how the business sees the long term and plans for the future, taking into account the increasing importance of ESG factors.
People, and their skills, are the central factor that will see our business through this new complex decade. It will be full of challenges but extremely stimulating for those who, like us, had already started on the path towards the energy transition some time ago. Our belief is that our work as enablers of innovative industrial choices is the most concrete way to talk about sustainability.
CHAPTER 3
Sustainability is not about “what” but about “how”. How we create value by doing business, how we manage economic, natural and social resources, how we see the future and face disruption by braving the unpredictability of the international situation. The pandemic has presented us with one of the most complex challenges of recent years. A large international player like Maire Tecnimont must know how to manage critical issues in the short term, while at the same time develop a new vision for the future. What we have taken away from the year of the pandemic is how we reacted and dealt with sudden and systemic changes, not only keeping the business stable but also holding on to the spirit needed to face shocks and unexpected consequences. It was, indeed, a huge shock for everyone, but also a good training ground for those of us who see resilience as a mantra.
CHAPTER 2
“OUR IS THAT OUR WORK AS ENABLERS OF INNOVATIVE INDUSTRIAL CHOICES IS THE MOST CONCRETE WAY TO TALK ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY”
It is not just a question of mindset, it is also a tangible question of how to manage the potential of resources. Indeed, the potential of natural resources is finite and increasingly under threat, but human potential is unlimited and able to make the best use of different resources. This is why unlocking people’s potential and allowing diversity to contribute in the creation of sustainable value without discrimination is not only right, but also a fundamental economic choice that allows for an efficient use of resources.
