SUSTAINABLE

which were announced in September 2015, is an important driver of the definition

of our sustainability

roadmap.In

this context we have mapped the different areas

of intervention and engagement, and also assessed the correlation between each

goal and our business activities.The picture that emerges from this analysis, firstly,

potential impact of the sustainability strategy that we are implementing.
