Manni Group considers respecting ESG factors to be a prerequisite for responsible growth: it is aware of the need to integrate environmental and social aspects into transparent governance, and believes that an organisation's overall performance is closely related to the wellbeing of the social context in which it operates and the impact it has on the surrounding environment.

Manni Group pays great attention to the training and development of human capital to create shared, professional and human value for the benefit of each employee and the Group. There is an ongoing commitment to offer employees training activities aimed at strengthening their hard, soft and digital skills: thanks also to the contribution of the inter-professional funds for lifelong learning, ad hoc courses, seminars, team-building activities, MBAs and coaching have been created.

In 2023, we introduced standard training for employees of the Italian Group companies, which includes courses on cross-disciplinary skills such as communication, time management and a more in-depth look at digital tools.

In 2023, Manni Group, in collaboration with YAC- Young Architects Competitions, launched the advanced training course in Off-site Technologies for Architecture, an advanced postgraduate programme offering architects and engineers the opportunity to acquire cutting-edge skills in off-site construction technologies for architecture.

The initiative is aimed at encouraging the adoption of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) among emerging young designers; it was developed with the support of ROCKWOOL, the main sponsor, and BASF, sponsor, and supported by the Edera, Fondazione Promozione Acciaio, UNICMI, ADI, EURAC and ILFI associations. The course programme underlines Manni Group's commitment to promoting social and cultural progress. The course is designed to provide young designers with specialist knowledge of off-site design and is taught by an exclusive panel of lecturers, including Nicola Scaranaro from Foster+Partners, Paolo Matteuzzi from Zaha Hadid Architects, Paolo Cresci from Arup and Giulio Rigoni from Bjarke Ingels Group.

We believe that ensuring the integrity and sustainability of the supply chain requires the commitment of all stakeholders. As procurement practices are among the Material Topics that emerged from the analysis, we feel it is also strategically important to strengthen ESG reporting with constant monitoring of the environmental, social and governance impact of the entire supply chain.

The holding company’s Procurement department gives a uniform process for collaborating with stakeholders, as well as seizing the opportunities arising from centralised management of large volumes.

Manni Group SPA is the holding that controls and coordinates a number of companies. It defines strategies for its subsidiaries and manages their shareholdings, including through service agreements.

The Group’s Corporate Governance document sets out rules for

-delegation: how to effectively delegate tasks externally.

-control: how to manage potential risks arising from delegation.

-balance: finding a balance between autonomy and control of subsidiarie.

Business is managed through a system of delegation, with monitoring through audit tools to assure its stakeholder of correct, accountable and transparent business.

Sustainability Governance In 2016, the Sustainability role was established when the Business Sustainability Officer (BSO) was appointed with the task of guiding the Group towards an increasingly sustainable business model by implementing and managing corporate strategies and initiatives aimed at promoting ESG issues. The BSO is also responsible for drafting the Business Sustainability Plan (BSP) and monitoring its implementation.

The Group CEO oversees the progress of Sustainable Development issues, since the Board of Directors has delegated responsibility for Sustainability to him given the expertise he has accrued over the years. The CEO reports to the Board of Directors on implementation of the Sustainable Development Plan and potential ESG impacts relating to the Group's products, services and other activities. The 2023–2025 BSP was approved by the BoD in November 2022.

The clear ERM structure starts from the governance of the holding runs through the governance of all the companies, implementing all aspects of integrated risk management to safeguard assets and business continuity.

A fair balance is ensured, which protects the company from potential losses and damage, while leaving room for the management entrepreneurship, with full awareness of the delegated powers.

The ERM structure can intervene where necessary with specific preventive e remedial actions, through improvement plans.
