We were called in by the Branca Group to provide them with technical and methodological support for the production of their first sustainability report. This first report is based on the international guidelines for sustainability reports, the GRI guidelines, and implements them in a very classical manner, with a reporting structure that is extremely easy to read. Reading and examining the Branca Group's understanding of the CSR pillars makes clear the correlation between the concepts of social responsibility and value chain. The importance for the company management, for the owners, of human resources emerges as a strong distinguishing characteristic, with great attention paid to corporate welfare and to all aspects of caring for the company's human capital since this is instrumental for a management approach that is not only aware, but also has long-term business objectives and all this emerges very clearly. The question of the enviroment, is another theme that cuts across the company's business operations, but is of great importance. It focuses in this case, on the targets for containing emissions and energy consumption. The customer as a stakeholder is approached and represented through the development of the concept of product quality, a question of great importance for the Group, which is related to the supplier community, management of the supply chain, because it is closely tied to the quality of the raw materials the company purchases.
