To mark World Earth Day - which has been held for the last 50 years in order to promote the ethical right to a healthy, balanced and sustainable environment, with events staged across every corner of the globe - Biesse has published the third edition of the Group's Sustainability Report (the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement) on all its communication channels. A symbolic connection, which highlights the Group's focus on one of the cornerstones of Biesse's sustainability policy - the environment - alongside the company's dedication to economic and social sustainability.

The Sustainability Report provides customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and local communities with the opportunity to access a fully transparent account of the results achieved by the Group, as well as an overview of the future scenarios pertaining to Biesse's economic, social and environmental sustainability policy. Biesse Group's main objectives include the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and the launch of the ISO 45001 certification process for safety at work. The Group promotes a responsible approach to the use of natural resources, avoiding waste where possible and implementing energy efficiency initiatives. Biesse is aware of the global challenges and the objectives promoted at Community level on the basis of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and as such, the Group has taken the decision to make an active contribution to the fight against climate change, through the purchase of electricity produced using renewable sources, with a view to significantly reducing indirect CO2 emissions from as early as 2020. At the same time, the ISO 45001 certification process has been launched, in order to ensure that Biesse employees can benefit from high levels of health and safety in the workplace.

“This third edition of the Sustainability Report is another step on the path towards the strategic understanding of the impacts generated by the business for all of the company's stakeholders. This path guides all of our corporate strategies, and increasingly sees research, innovation and value redistribution as a key factor for the future of our business, enabling us to align Biesse with the current global economic and financial policies that will allow us to achieve so-called sustainable success” - Alessandra Parpajola, executive member of the Group's Board of Directors and active promoter of sustainability within the company, declared - “The future of companies lies in the increasing cross-over between corporate social responsibility and strategic industrial planning, as they pursue a progressive approach of continuous improvement in light of these issues”.
