Reduced inequalities

SDG 10

Reduce inequalities within and among countries

To reduce inequality, policies should be universal and pay attention to the needs of disadvantaged and marginalised populations.

The international community has made significant progress in lifting people out of poverty. However, inequality persists and large disparities remain with regard to access to health, education and other services.

There is a growing consensus that economic growth is not enough to reduce poverty if it is not inclusive growth and if it does not involve the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and environmental

How do we share the value we produce?

We are a key protagonist of Italy’s economic, social and productive panorama, as a unique Company in the country in terms of size, recognisability and presence.

There is a close connection between the results we achieve through our business model and the needs of the Italian territory.

We collaborate to achieve the objectives of SDG 10 by creating value with:
