The importance of ESG: a commitment to sustainability
Sustainability Report
It is with great pleasure that we publish our fist Sustainability Report, prepared in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), transposed into Italian legislation through Legislative Decree 125/2024.
This is an ambitious project that has required significant dedication from our human resources. Although Tastitalia is not legally obligated to undertake this initiative due to its current size, we have voluntarily chosen this path as a natural extension of our growth and sustainable development strategy.
For years, Tastitalia has integrated ESG principles while maintaining economic and financial balance, demonstrating that Sustainability and business performance can progress together, generating mutual value.
Our commitment to environmental responsibility led us, as early as May 20, 2013, to obtain the ISO 14001:2015 certification for our environmental management system. Furthermore, since 2022, we have started monitoring and measuring our CO2 emissions, with the aim of developing increasingly effective reduction and compensation strategies. Similarly, in late 2017, as part of our commitment to transparency and accountability, we voluntarily adopted the Organization, Management, and Control Model in accordance with Legislative Decree 231/2001. Since then, we have been under the supervision of the Supervisory Body, which reports directly to the Board of Directors.
The safety and well-being of our employees are not measured only through certifications but are rejected in our daily commitment to applying safety standards with particular attention to the people who are part of Tastitalia.
This Sustainability Report is not the conclusion of a journey but rather another step toward continuous improvement. Through this publication, we reaffirm our commitment to a more responsible future, aware that sustainable progress is a path of constant evolution
What do we do concretely?
Constant and continuous investment in alternative energy in the name of sustainability.
Tastitalia has long had a particular sensitivity to environmental issues. The first environmental certification dates back to 2013, when ESG issues were not so heartfelt.
Since then, the predisposition toward E (Environment, responsible management of natural resources and on the reduction of environmental impact), S (Social, as the well-being of communities and employee relations in the first place) and G (Governance and ethics concerning the management structure and decision-making processes within the company and in business relationships) are the basis for the future of Tastitalia.
ENVIRONMENTAL METRICS
Measuring Environmental Impact for a Sustainable Future
Environmental metrics in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) assessment are crucial to understanding and improving a company’s ecological impact. These indicators assess various aspects such as management of greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency, use of natural resources, waste management and pollution. They also consider the sustainability of agricultural and forestry practices, biodiversity and ecosystem protection. By monitoring and improving these metrics, companies can reduce their environmental impact, contributing to a more sustainable and planet-friendly future.

Social Metrics
The social metrics in the evaluation of ESG
The social metrics in the evaluation of ESG are the main indicators to measure the social impact of a company. These metrics include different aspects like work conditions, human rights, community engagement, human resource development, equity policies and customer welfare.
By measuring and improving these factors, companies can show their concrete commitment to social responsibility and sustainability, by supporting a fair and safe workplace, respecting the human rights, investing in local communities and guarantee the life’s quality of their employees and customers.
