Sustainability

Sustainability is an integral part of our mission: it guides our decisions, shapes our strategy, and translates into concrete actions that generate lasting value for communities and local areas.

How we guide our decisions

We integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into our strategies, business processes and operations to support the country's growth. Sustainability guides our decisions and the way we operate as a National Promotional Institution, with the aim of combining financial performance and positive impact, generating long-term value for stakeholders, communities and local territories.

The principles and tools that underpin this commitment are set out in our Sustainability Framework.

Building tomorrow’s sustainable development today

The ESG Plan 2025–2027 sets out the Group’s sustainability priorities, commitments and targets, in line with the Strategic Plan. These priorities are identified through the materiality assessment, developed through ongoing dialogue with stakeholders.
