Behind the Sustainability Report

There’s a moment, at the start of any complex project, when you need to stop and listen. And this is where Monica Facci, Junior Sustainability & Energy Specialist at Morato Group, began when it came time to prepare the 2024 Sustainability Report. She started by engaging people, focusing on their contribution and the stories behind every piece of information.

“The sustainability report is not just a bunch of numbers and indicators,” explained Monica. “It’s the story of a Group that chooses to grow with awareness, holding three inseparable dimensions together – environment, people and governance. This project required a solid method, a bit of patience and the ability to coordinate a host of different perspectives.”

The process began with questionnaires and materiality analyses to identify the aspects that were truly the most material for the Group and its stakeholders. Next came interviews with function heads, more technical discussions and the gathering of environmental and energy data, all of which Monica personally handled, step by step.

“It was an intense project, and even exciting at times,” added Monica. “Reporting this kind of commitment by a group as large as Morato is an enormous responsibility. It requires planning, care and the engagement of all the function heads. I saw it as a collective project, in which every function did its part to create one overall story.”

Together for Goodness is a framework that reflects our choice to include all the Group companies in the report. Our work on sustainability now covers all of them, both in Italy and abroad, with the aim of never leaving anyone behind. We plan and carry out initiatives that maximize the engagement of people inside and outside the company, with everyone contributing in their own way. This approach reflects Monica’s strong belief in the value of small actions, which alone might seem inconsequential, but generate change when put together.

“Sustainability is not an end point. It’s a process of continuous improvement,” concluded Monica. “Everything we do has an impact. It’s not our goal to erase this impact. Instead, we want to recognize it and commit to reducing it, knowledgeably and moving all in the same direction, a direction based on shared responsibility, growth and a desire to always go one step furt
