AND ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SDGs

1.4 THE GROUP’S COMMITMENT

TO THE UN GLOBAL COMPACT AND TO THE SDGs

Our entry into the UN Global Compact in 2011 marked an important milestone. In the 10 years that have followed, our involvement has grown increasingly active. Recent years have seen us upgrade to a “Participant” member of the UN Global Compact, enter into the Board of Directors of the Italian Network and sign the Women’s Empowerment Principles promoted by the UN Global Compact and UN Women. Following this, in 2021 we were particularly engaged in two working groups within the Italian Network:

Italian Business and Decarbonization Working Group: a just and in-

clusive transition - The working group was responsible for developing a shared approach and drafting a position paper on the role of Italian companies in driving fair and inclusive decarbonization with the active contribution of large companies belonging to the UN Global Compact and particularly committed to SDG 13 – Climate Action, including Maire Tecnimont. The paper was used as a preparatory document for the annual meeting dedicated for CEOs and Chairpersons of the member companies, held on May 13, 2021 in Rome and was launched officially on January 19, 2022 at the Italian Pavilion at Expo Dubai 2020.

Chief Executive Officer Maire Tecnimont Group “Being part of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is always an enriching opportunity. The leadership that the UNGC shows and puts into practice with concrete measures to achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda and encourage multi-stakeholder dialogue is a constant incentive to improve and make our efforts towards long-term sustainability more effective. That is why we renewed, with great pride, our commitment to the UN Global Compact in 2021. For 10 years now, our Group has firmly embraced the 10 UNGC principles, seeking every day to transform them into concrete actions across all levels of the organization. Those 10 years have been significant, and a great deal has happened – both in our Group and in the world itself. Over these years, UNGC has continued to lead a fruitful debate on sustainability involving many social and economic players, thereby offering us constant support during a process of transformation and evolution in our approach to sustainability. By equipping companies with information on where and how they can have a positive impact on work, human rights, the environment and the fight against corruption, the Ten Principles are an important guide for businesses. Bringing about change means taking action on inclusion and sustainability, while also acting to address the systemic factors that drive how our economies and societies function. We are 100% committed to making our own contribution to these areas – a contribution we want to deepen going forward.”

D&I Observatory - With the participation of 17 large member companies from various sectors, the Observatory offered a continuous opportunity throughout 2021 to share initiatives, projects, strategic approaches on the issues of inclusive leadership and equal opportunities and the treatment of specific groups of people: women, migrants, young people and disabled people.

The final output from the first year of activity was “Guidelines on Diversity & Inclusion in companies”, a guidance paper which compiled Sustainable Development Goals on multiple corporate best practices re- which we can effectively act as a lating to Principle 6 of the UN Global business.
