Manni Group has identified the need to formalise the environmental, social and governance performance assessment of its supply chain: in addition to constantly monitoring the supply chain, the project minimises operational and reputational risk and fosters cooperation with stakeholders.

In 2023, the assessment involved 147 strategic and potential suppliers, which were asked to fill in a questionnaire on a web platform made available by the Cerved Rating Agency, which then assessed the ESG performance of the suppliers.

The response rate of Manni Group's strategic suppliers to the ESG Supply Chain Assessment project was around 37%, of which more than 70% scored “high” or “very high” on the ESG Score and for the individual Environmental, Social and Governance components. No suppliers emerged from the project that were found to have current or potential significant negative impacts on the Group's activities.
