The Plan is built on a set of guiding principles that inform every decision:

  • Central role of the publisher: sustainability is first and foremost a social and cultural commitment, not only an environmental one.
  • Integration with the business: to avoid parallel approaches and turn sustainability into a genuine shift in mindset, fully aligned with our industrial objectives.
  • Sustainable development as an integrated approach: closely linked to the business model and to economic growth.
  • Measurability: through clear KPIs, with particular attention to the social dimension, traditionally less structured.
  • Regulatory monitoring: to remain constantly aligned with the evolving regulatory framework and to define concrete, realistic commitments.

These guiding principles form the basis for our Three Pillars.

Quality and social value of our publishing offer

Our ongoing commitment to the dissemination of culture leads us every day to promote reading in our bookshops, schools and libraries across the country. We seek innovative solutions to make reading accessible to everyone through audiobooks, e-books and customised technological solutions for readers and students with disabilities.

We contribute to teacher training and work alongside educators to develop innovative teaching tools.

Thanks to the enthusiasm and professionalism of our booksellers, we foster cultural dialogue and an offering that reflects a plurality of perspectives.

Environmental efficiency and responsibility across the supply chain

Close attention to the environmental impact of our production and logistics processes, the exclusive use of certified paper, and energy-efficiency measures across our premises are just some of the initiatives we consistently pursue to respect the planet and the people who live on it.

We actively invest in research and development to achieve even better results through new technologies.

Suppliers and customers are not merely links in the supply chain, but partners with whom we design processes and share ethical commitments.

Empowerment and inclusion of people

People are, and will remain, at the heart of our journey. We promote a plurality of perspectives, freedom of expression, and a structure of professional opportunities that are fair and accessible to all, without discrimination.

Since 2024, we have been certified UNI/PdR 125:2022 for gender equality, reflecting our concrete commitment to reducing the gender pay gap and improving gender balance.

Training our people and developing their skills, both professionally and as citizens, has always been a priority.

We work to build an inclusive society, both within and beyond the company.
