Therefore, training and years now, Engineering makes efforts to promote initiatives to raise community awareness about information policies, procedures and activities are continuously updateddigitalization with a view to creating a shared benefit. Through collaborations with local players, Engineering drives a process involving the acquisition of IT knowledge. Human capital development and training: competition in cutting-edge sectors like those in which the Company puts itself to the test every day means that people are Engineering’s main resource; Application of IT technologies for customer environmental sustainability: Engineering works the development and enhancement of human capital therefore constitutes one of the Group’s as an accelerator of the sustainable development of its customers by conceiving of innovative priorities in a continuously evolving context that requires paying particular attention to the updating solutions that generate positive impacts with respect to current and future environmental and development of skills and the creation of new professional roles (such as data scientist) through challenges. This makes it possible to promote inclusive, sustainable industrialization that is significant investments in training. Individual professional development proceeds in parallel with the attentive to the surrounding ecosystem.Reporting and data success of the company. Application of IT technologies to face customer social challenges: Engineering works as Diversity, equity and inclusion: guaranteeing a healthy work environment compliant with the an accelerator of the sustainable development of its customers, influencing the majority of principles of non-discrimination, equal opportunities and equal dignity, inclusion and work-life balance sectors in the social, institutional or business sphere, and conceiving of innovative solutions is fundamental for the Group, which promotes generational, cultural and gender diversity as a driver that generate positive impacts with respect to current and future social challenges.

Reporting and dataCustomer data security and privacy and cybersecurity: for Engineering, data security and privacy are of utmost importance, and therefore it stores and manages a large quantity of information at its Energy efficiency and climate change: several activities in the Engineering value chain are Data Centers. Many of the data come from the National Healthcare System, the Central and Local responsible for climate-changing gas emissions. In particular, these activities include: the Public Administration and customers across all of Italy’s production sectors. The Group also plans and production of the Company and the materials purchased from suppliers, the functioning of provides cybersecurity services externally. the Data Centers, the operations of Engineering and its customers, which require significant energy consumption, associated with GHG emissions. Furthermore, the Company is directly and Initiatives in support of the community: Engineering offers its skills and experience for the country’s indirectly responsible for the emissions linked to heating the offices, refrigerant gases for the modernization, not only paying attention to its employees and the people revolving around its data centers, employee travel and the disposal of electronic and other waste. ecosystem, but also moving beyond that, expanding its commitment to the entire community. Indeed, over the years the company has continued to engage in social issues through research and culture Waste management: Engineering’s business does not produce significant quantities of waste; initiatives and projects, promoting initiatives aimed at raising community awareness and generating in addition to waste such as paper, plastics and packaging, it uses materials and electronic added value. equipment to carry out operations that entail the production of the most significant item of waste produced, electronic waste.
