[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Lower emissions, more renewable energy, a future-oriented industrial vision, and a tangible commitment to local communities.<\/em><\/p>\n

UFI presents its 2025 Sustainability Report<\/strong>, confirming a growth path that combines industrial innovation, environmental responsibility, and a strong focus on people. The document outlines a year of tangible progress in emissions reduction, investments in renewable energy<\/strong>, and an increasingly structured commitment to the energy transition, within a complex and constantly evolving global context.<\/p>\n

Now in its fifth edition, the Report has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards<\/strong> and is based on a double materiality assessment<\/strong> aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), evaluating both the impacts of the Group\u2019s activities and their financial implications. The report is subject to independent limited assurance<\/strong>, ensuring transparency and reliability.<\/p>\n

Environment: Lower Emissions, More Renewables<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In 2025, the Group achieved a significant improvement in its environmental performance<\/strong>. Direct emissions<\/strong> (Scope 1) decreased by 16% <\/strong>compared with 2024, while indirect emissions<\/strong> related to purchased energy (Scope 2, market-based) fell by 11%<\/strong>. These results stem from a combination of greater energy efficiency, reduced consumption of gas and fuel, and a growing share of electricity generated from renewable sources.<\/p>\n

Solar energy played a key role: electricity generated by photovoltaic systems for self-consumption increased from approximately 500,000 kWh to more than 919,000 kWh, nearly doubling in just one year. This was complemented by increased purchases of renewable energy certificates (I-RECs), supporting the decarbonization of the Group\u2019s energy mix.<\/p>\n

People and Communities: Commitment from Within<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alongside its environmental achievements, the Report highlights UFI\u2019s commitment to its people: more than 4,400 employees worldwide, with health and safety indicators continuing to improve.<\/strong> The same sense of responsibility drives the Group\u2019s engagement with local communities.<\/p>\n

In 2025, UFI supported social, educational, and healthcare projects in several countries<\/strong> through a decentralized approach that empowers local teams to develop initiatives tailored to the specific needs of their communities\u2014environmental education, circular economy projects, collaboration with non-profit organizations, and support for vulnerable individuals.<\/p>\n

The goal is to actively contribute to the development of the areas where UFI operates, strengthening ties with local communities and creating value that extends beyond industrial activity.<\/p>\n

A Clear Direction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

These results are part of a long-term industrial vision, as highlighted by UFI Chairman Giorgio Girondi<\/strong> in the opening message of the Report:<\/p>\n

\u201cSustainability does not represent a change in our identity, but rather its natural extension. It is embedded in the way we think, design, and operate. It requires attention, responsibility, and the ability to make choices that create lasting value over time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

This vision is shared by UFI\u2019s CEO<\/strong>, who emphasizes that sustainability is now fully integrated into the company\u2019s decision-making processes:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2025, we continued to strengthen the integration of sustainability into our business\u2014not as a parallel path, but as a compass guiding our decision-making process and the way we measure performance. This has translated into tangible progress across several areas: we reduced our emissions, increased our use of renewable energy, and reinforced our commitment to the efficient management of resources.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Measurable results, long-term investments, and a clear direction: combining industrial competitiveness with responsibility, while building a solid, consistent, and future-oriented growth path.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″]GO TO SUSTAINABILITY PAGE<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″]DOWNLOAD THE 2025 REPORT<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image img_size=”large” css=”” image=”42591″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
