Pegolotte, VE, January 20, 2021 – 4 EMME Srl is proud to announce the release of its first Sustainability Report. This document serves as a transparent communication tool outlining the company’s social, economic, and environmental performance for 2021, as well as the actions taken to tackle future challenges.

In recent years, numerous organizations have embarked on sustainability journeys following the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework, introduced by John Elkington in 1994. This model evaluates a company’s performance across economic, social, and environmental dimensions, while striving for social equity (PEOPLE), environmental quality (PLANET), and financial growth (PROFIT).

4 EMME Sustainability Report begins with a message from the CEO addressed to stakeholders, followed by sections detailing the company, its business model, and key performance indicators.

It examines the ESG context, action priorities, and the objectives outlined in the Sustainability Plan for 2022-2025.

The report adheres to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards for Sustainability Reporting and aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of the 2030 Agenda. It also highlights the main initiatives and achievements from 2021.

The challenges posed by waste management and climate change have prompted 4 EMME to take urgent action.

The need to innovate business strategies, technologies, materials, and products has presented both challenges and opportunities, which the company has embraced through ambitious projects.

Guided by the proverb “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children,” we have fundamentally transformed our operational practices. We promote initiatives such as waste separation and the adoption of management systems like ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001. This is the only way we can truly contribute to a new era of social eco-sustainability,” states Marta Mattiazzi, co-founder and CFO of the company.

Our sustainable approach permeates all activities and is built on essential pillars: energy efficiency, the use of certified raw materials, and monitoring our carbon footprint. The Sustainability Report, developed under the PEOPLE, PLANET, and PROFIT framework, details the actions and investments made in 2021, reflecting 4 EMME’s commitment to sustainable growth.

The Materiality Matrix provides a comprehensive sustainability disclosure and an integrated portrayal of the company’s contribution to sustainable development. This process helps identify both company’s priorities and those of individual stakeholders.

In the coming years, 4 EMME aims to enhance and refine the Materiality Matrix, engaging more stakeholders and increasingly using this tool to guide the definition of its strategies, objectives, and indicators in sustainability.
