we receive e we publish the following press release issued by Fire.
FIRE announces approval of the 2025 Responsibility Report by the Board of Directors, confirming a path of ESG evolution that began almost twenty years ago and is now increasingly integrated into the Group's growth strategies.
Since 2006, FIRE has voluntarily published its Social Report, anticipating issues that have become central to businesses, investors, and stakeholders over the years. Over time, the Group has progressively integrated environmental, social, and governance aspects into its decision-making processes and organizational model, adopting an approach inspired by the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and the principle of dual materiality.
With the approval of the new Roadmap of Sustainability 2025–2027, FIRE consolidates the transition from a set of ESG initiatives to a structured and permanent sustainability management system, oriented towards long-term value creation.
states Sergio Bommarito, CEO of the GroupWe believe that sustainability represents a conscious choice and a responsibility towards the future: a voluntary path through which we strengthen our growth model and generate stable, lasting value for the company, the people, and the communities in which we operate. For this reason, we have decided to consciously and proactively pursue ESG reporting, in the belief that understanding and managing our impacts also means strengthening the Group's resilience and competitiveness.
The 2025 Corporate Responsibility Report highlights a cross-cutting ESG approach that encompasses governance, technological innovation, human capital, supply chain, and social impact.
On the governance front, FIRE has strengthened the internal control system through the consolidation of the functions Risk & Compliance, the strengthening of monitoring activities and cybersecurity measures, structured risk management and the adoption of a Policy dedicated to Artificial Intelligence.
Throughout 2025, the Group also continued its investments in digitalization, automation, and responsible AI, developing innovative solutions for credit management and operational support. FIRE allocated approximately 3% of its revenue to strengthening its Information, Communication & Technology (ICT) business, investing in process automation, machine learning, cybersecurity, and generative AI systems.
Focusing on people continues to be a central element of the Group's development model. FIRE currently employs approximately 1.500 professionals, including employees and collaborators, and promotes a work environment focused on inclusion, welfare, training, and skills development. In 2025, nearly 15.000 hours of training were provided to employees, including courses dedicated to ESG, inclusive language, and change management.
The Report also highlights the social role of credit management, which FIRE interprets as a lever for economic rebalancing and financial inclusion. The Group manages over 4 million positions and approximately €25 billion in assets under management, operating with an approach focused on customer protection, sustainable solutions, and reinclusion in the credit system.
In 2025, FIRE also consolidated its environmental commitment through initiatives aimed at energy efficiency, emissions reduction, and sustainable mobility. The new ESG Roadmap includes decarbonization measures, monitoring of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, and the gradual conversion of the company fleet to hybrid and electric vehicles.
It also continues Fireducation, the financial education program developed in collaboration with schools and local organizations, which in 2025 involved over 2.000 children.
With its new Corporate Responsibility Report, FIRE confirms its commitment to pursuing a growth path based on innovation, transparency, sustainability, and the creation of shared value.
The 2025 Sustainability Report will be available in the "Sustainability" section of the FIRE Group's corporate website.
