For over forty years, Guarniflon has focused its industrial growth on innovation, quality, and respect for the environment and people. Today more than ever, sustainability represents a strategic element that guides all our decisions: from production processes to internal organization, from resource management to relationships with customers, suppliers, and communities.

With the publication of our first Sustainability Report, we have chosen to embark on a structured, transparent, and measurable journey. A commitment that arises from listening to stakeholders and from the awareness of the role that companies like ours play in creating value for the future.

Through a thorough analysis, we have identified the material topics considered priorities for our sustainable development. These areas represent the fields in which we can generate the greatest benefits and reduce the most significant impacts:

• Responsible use of natural resources and materials;
• Waste management and circular economy;
• Health and safety of workers;
• Product quality and safety;
• Privacy protection, cybersecurity, and operational continuity.

These topics guide our vision and define the priorities at the heart of our strategy.

In 2024, we began a joint journey with Maflon aimed at defining a shared sustainability strategy.

The work done has allowed us to understand the impacts of our activities along the value chain, identify material topics and priority risks, and define a strategy based on clear objectives and measurable KPIs.

This journey represents a starting point: we aim to consolidate it over the years, making sustainability an integral and measurable part of our business performance.

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond reporting results: it continues with the ambition to always do better, thanks to:

• New policies on quality, human rights, and resource management
• Investments in safety, innovation, and processes
• Awareness-raising and training initiatives
• Ongoing monitoring of medium-to-long-term objectives

We are convinced that only through transparency, responsibility, and collaboration can we generate lasting value for the environment, for people, and for all the entities we interact with.
