Sustainability Projects

Our definition of the Sustainable Development Goals

Specific objectives have been defined for each pillar to be pursued through 26 medium and long-term projects. The objectives are the outcome of a process that began with the analysis of Gefran’s positioning and the risk/opportunity framework of the reference market. At all levels of the Group, the management has been involved to define key indicators and monitor results over time. Dialogue has been opened with stakeholders and people who work in Gefran have been heard. The following paragraphs illustrate the policies of the four pillars accompanied by the projects to implement the strategy and its objectives.
