Following the ESG Risk Rating of last November 2021, the company receives the Industry Top Rated 2022 badge, both issued by Sustainalytics, a Morningstar company and leading independent ESG research, rating and data firm that support investors with the development and implementation of responsible investment strategies.

The ESG Risk Rating of 21.9, places the PiovanGroup in the Medium Risk category, improving by 11.8 points compared to the previous rating (33.7) with the best score in the categories:

  • Own carbon dioxide emissions

In the overall Sustainalytics ranking, Piovan is positioned in the 29th percentile with a further improvement in the sub-category of industrial machinery, where Piovan ranks in the 5th percentile. The achievement of the Industry Top Rated status shows how the Group is an excellence in its sector.

"We are satisfied because the rating obtained enhances the peculiarities of the PiovanGroup, focusing on low Scope 1 emissions - direct generated by the company -, Scope 2 - indirect generated by the energy purchased and consumed by the company. The company aims to be a global driver in the conversion to a circular economy within the plastics industry." adds Filippo Zuppichin, CEO.
