Sustainability

We love the planet and its inhabitants: we aim at responsible business models for us and for those who believe in our values.

People and the environment: our sustainability in numbers

Discover our Group’s commitment

We declare our Group’s commitment to helping achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations’ Agenda 2030. We believe in a continuous, progressive and sustainable growth model, and our Manifesto reflects the sense of responsibility which we have always demonstrated towards our communities, human resources and customers. This has led to the creation of our 7 Priority Goals for sustainability which we commit to developing in our business strategy and all our programmes.

"Our adherence to the Global Compact and qualification as a founding member of the Global Compact Network Italy are the natural consequence of the Var Group’s actions and commitment right from its foundation to the topics addressed by the ten principles of the Global Compact, and are consistent with the policies adopted internally by the company for its workers, customers, and suppliers and, more generally, for all stakeholders and shareholders."

Francesca Moriani - CEO Var Group
