Sustainability strategy and value creation

Balancing the different facets of sustainability. This is the challenge that RadiciGroup has taken on, with the deep conviction that economic, social and environmental interests must be harmonised for the sake of both improving corporate performance and contributing to a better future for our planet and its inhabitants. Today, one of the most important challenges in its sustainability strategy is to create lasting value shared with stakeholders. A principle that, year after year, has diverse objectives:

Creating value for the Workers • Safeguard employment as the primary asset with collective, full time agreements. • Respect the human rights of workers everywhere in the world. • Protecting health and safety. • Building professional growth through mentoring side by side with more experienced partners, training, and a career path. • Involve People, through daily dialogue and the

Group's information and communication tools.

Creating value for the Environment • Fighting global climate change and the decline in the Planet's resources by setting and pursuing ambitious goals. • Adding more circularity to the current business model. • Decoupling production/economic growth from consumption of resources, particularly if not renewable, and making the best use of available renewable resources. • Investing in products and processes with reduced impact.

Creating value for the entire value chain • Invest in innovation as a strategic driver. • Making products that are long-lasting, safe, highperformance and with limited and measurable impact, thus creating continual sustainable value in the value chain.

Creating Value for Local Communities and

Territories • Actively contributing to the vitality of the host

Territories, which are often disadvantaged by geographical location and lack of infrastructure. • Specifically support the younger generations, to enable them to count on employee and growth opportunities in their communities of origin. • Supporting local sports and cultural activities.

The Group’s annual Sustainability Report sets out how it is creating value; it is put together following GRI Standards, the most evolved global reporting system, and certified by a third party.
