The Board of Directors approves the Sustainability Statement, ensuring that it is prepared and published in compliance with Italian Legislative Decree 125/24. The Group policies, including the Sustainability Policy (which formalises the four areas of commitment for the Group), play a key role in guiding its sustainability strategy. Furthermore, following the review and validation of the ESG strategic guidelines (including the Sustainability Plan) by the RCSC and the BoD, the Group ensures oversight of the impacts, risks, and opportunities across all areas of sustainability. Supporting the BoD, the Risk, Control and Sustainability Committee is responsible for supervising internal control and risk management matters, including ESG-related issues affecting the Company's operations and stakeholder interactions. Additionally, the RCSC monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control system. [...] The monitoring of sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities is also ensured through the Sustainability Plan, which is reviewed and monitored in dedicated sessions by the responsible Committee. This role is assigned to the RCSC, which, as part of its support activities for the BoD, is responsible for overseeing sustainability-related activities and the management of ESG topics. Moreover, this commitment is clearly expressed and integrated within the Group's policies, which establish the strategic guidelines for the responsible and sustainable management of corporate activities. [...] To enhance awareness of ESG topics and risks, regular updates on impacts, risks, opportunities, and sustainability initiatives are provided, if necessary, during meetings of the Board of Directors and the Risk, Control and Sustainability Committee, which take place five times a year. These updates include insights into efforts related to climate change mitigation and adaptation. At these governance meetings, reports on the activities performed in preparation for the Sustainability Statement are presented, including developments (such as the double materiality analysis, which was also validated by the BoD in 2024). Updates are shared on new projects and key milestones achieved in relation to the objectives set out in the Sustainability Plan (for further details, see the "Sustainability Strategy" paragraph of this chapter). Communication and engagement activities are also discussed, covering interactions with the financial community, ESG rating agencies, and all relevant stakeholders.
