Marta Testi, CEO of ELITE:
“We are delighted to recognise Morato Group with the Certificate on Sustainability. Not only economic, but also environmental and social corporate responsibility has an impact on competitiveness, bringing benefits in terms of access to capital, cost and risk reduction, reputation improvement and value for employees, customers and stakeholders all. In this framework, finance represents a privileged channel to steer the entrepreneurial fabric towards a sustainable model, and as ELITE-Euronext Group we want to be proactive in supporting companies with concrete tools and solutions, which today are fundamental both in company development and in pursuing a competitive advantage”.

Stefano Maza, CEO Morato Group:
“We are really proud to receive the ELITE Sustainability Certificate, an important milestone that confirms the commitment, profused at the level of every corporate area, towards sustainable development. Attention to people, closeness to the territory and our communities, and safeguarding the environment represent the main guidelines on which our sustainability path has developed and which will continue to play a decisive role in the Morato Group’s agenda. Today, to make our sustainable actions even more effective, we have set up a Sustainability Committee composed of the top figures of our group. The committee will represent a strategic reference point for defining priorities and allocating resources, involving all our people in a path of awareness and sensitisation.”
