Our values
Solesi considers sustainability as one of the values underlying its corporate culture. Sustainable management as a business model and development of internal strategies and processes represents an essential element for our activities. In order to achieve its objectives, Solesi S.p.A. has adopted and implemented an Integrated Management System, which has allowed the organization to optimize and harmonize all management processes and business activities, while ensuring compliance with various national and international standards.
At Solesi S.p.A., we firmly believe that a construction company has responsibilities in shaping the world we will leave to future generations.
We firmly believe that a company can generate economic value and, at the same time, contribute to the well-being of society and the protection of the environment. For this reason, we have embarked on a path that embraces all the values of sustainability, which has led us to draw up our first Non-Financial Report. This document represents a fundamental starting point to measure our impact and define increasingly ambitious goals for the future.
Within the report, we have reported on our initiatives and objectives in three key areas:
Environment: We have taken a number of measures to reduce our environmental impact, from using sustainable materials to optimising production processes to minimise energy and water waste.
Company: We believe in a business model that generates value for all stakeholders involved. For this reason, we promote diversity and inclusion within our organization, take action to support local communities, and work to ensure safe and decent working conditions for all our employees and associates.
Governance: Robust and transparent governance is crucial to ensuring the long-term sustainability of a company. We have implemented control and reporting systems that allow us to constantly monitor our progress and make informed decisions.
Our sustainability report is a living document, which we will continue to update and improve over time. We are aware that the path to sustainability is long and complex, but we are determined to do our part to build a better future for all.

The principles we describe in the report and the concrete actions we implement to pursue them are also achieved through the implementation and application of an integrated management system that embraces different disciplines, namely: Safety, Environment, Quality, Fight against corruption, Social responsibility, Diversity and Inclusion, Data security.

Environment

The Management defines its policy in compliance with environmental regulations; being competitive means aiming to differentiate the characteristics of one’s services through constant research aimed at improving company processes also from the point of view of their environmental impact.

The company has, in fact, decided to implement its integrated system in accordance with the UNI ISO 37001 standard and to certify the management system for the prevention of corruption, which specifies the measures and controls adopted by the organization in order to monitor its business activities and to increase the effectiveness of preventing the phenomenon of corrupt.
