The creation of a virtuous ecosystem of companies and institutions can make a difference. We must work together, sharing a common vision and harnessing technology and innovation for a fair, equitable and orderly energy transition.
At RINA, sustainability has both a horizontal and a vertical component, and we integrate its principles in all areas of our business, taking on the responsibility of navigating this transformation with determination and ambition, and positioning ourselves as active partners in the entire value chain.
This necessarily entails a continual, transparent commitment to our Stakeholders. This is why, after publishing the Stakeholder engagement policy in March 2023, we identified our Stakeholders, explored their needs and expectations, and examined how to engage with them effectively. An endeavour which starts by listening and which will help us to better outline future actions and activities.
In 2023, we reaffirmed our commitment to play our part in combating climate change by joining the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi), with the ambitious goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris Agreement and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
People are part of our business strategy and are our main asset: we believe that diversity, equity and inclusion are core values in building a sustainable future and, in this respect, we are proud to have created a management system for gender equality.
Innovation is the key to our strategy. We are continually investing in research and development to find more effective and value-added solutions to aid our customers in achieving their sustainability goals.
We furthermore promote the uptake of cutting-edge technologies, raise public awareness regarding sustainability issues and work with institutions to develop policies in this field.
These are just some of the actions you will find in our Sustainability Report 2023.
Sustainability is a strategic driver for development, a key to the current state of affairs and a guide for the future.
A future we want to build with you, with your trust, support and feedback, to create a fairer ecosystem. The future we seek requires a change in mindset, the sharing of ideas and a great deal of substance. This will entail first and foremost putting knowledge and technological innovation into play, involving everyone.
