The Venetian insurance company Cattolica Assicurazioni presented its "Consolidated non-financial statement" (DNF), better known as the Sustainability Report, confirming its commitment to acknowledging and incorporating the best practices and philosophy of sustainability into a Corporate Social Responsibility “capable of increasingly involving every level of the organization and of promote the dissemination of the culture of sustainability and increasingly responsible innovation, having as a constant point of reference the corporate stakeholders and the territories in which it operates”, explains a press release.
“We started last year – he declared Emanuela Vecchiet, Director of Communications and Institutional Relations of Cattolica Assicurazioni – with the aim of providing transparent and exhaustive disclosure of the Group's sustainability activities. This NFS is a tangible sign of the social pact that we have made with our stakeholders: the values of Cattolica, rooted in the social doctrine of the Church, are the humus in which all the company's activities take place and make explicit the link with the territory in which we operate”.
From "an element inherent in the company's DNA and genetic vocation", sustainability has therefore become - thanks to the new course of the company, led by the managing director Alberto Minali and with Paolo Bedoni as president - a real way of understanding modern corporate social responsibility, able to develop the governance, social and environmental aspects highlighted in the document.
In detail, the chapters of the Sustainability Report tell Cattolica starting from five values of the company – integrity, cohesion, courage to do and learn, meritocracy, result orientation – “which differentiate the company in its way of being and operating, also in the area of corporate social responsibility”. From here a narrative conducted by macro themes opens up, a sort of map structured by analogies and overlaps, which place the emphasis on ESG Investing, customer service, links with the community and the local area, human resources, results economy and the environment, with relative focus on Ca' Tron, the largest single-body agricultural estate in the Veneto region.
