In his speech, Forti discussed sustainability reporting, starting from Burgo Group's 2023 Sustainability Report, and highlighted key results related to the circularity of water resources and waste.
Forti then addressed the Group’s next steps in reporting, focusing on the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), and its alignment with the new EU-specific environmental standards, ESRS.
