In SEW-Eurodrive Italy, sustainability is fully integrated into our business strategy.

As a result of a materiality analysis and an impact assessment with our internal and external stakeholders, seven material topics emerged:

+ Occupational health and safety

+ Adapting to climate change

+ Combat climate change (reducing consumption and emissions)

+ Enhancing skills and wellbeing

+ Increase circularity

+ Spreading and growing a sustainable culture

+Economic performance/Market presence

Being sustainable means listening to stakeholders to understand their needs and establish balanced relationships that create value for both parties.

It is important that a company dialogue by proper means and strategies.

Thus, we introduced new ways of engaging stakeholders in the materiality process.

The first innovation was the participation of the entire company staff, who, for the first time, were involved in selecting the material topics. A total of 139 employees, or 65% of those eligible, responded to the survey.

The second innovation was assigning different weights to the various categories of stakeholders involved.

The third innovation involved some particularly significant clients and suppliers through a survey.
