The rating agency rated Poste Italiane Group positively for the Company's strong commitment to integrating ESG risk analysis into due diligence and the investment process, and for the capacity to manage environmental risk in terms of programmes, actions and targets aimed at reducing GHG emissions. The Group has also been awarded for the use of a solid employee engagement strategy, aimed at attracting new talent and retaining its resources, and for the implementation of robust data protection processes, including external certifications obtained and compliance programs initiated.
With regard to Morgan Stanley Capital International, the company judged the performance of the Poste Italiane Group to be well above the sector averages in each of the three ESG dimensions (environmental, social and corporate governance), with a particular distinction for the results achieved in the field of governance. Morgan Stanley Capital International is one of the leading rating agencies.
"The improvement in the score obtained by Moody’s Analytics and the confirmation of the MSCI rating - commented the CEO of Poste Italiane, Matteo Del Fante - once again demonstrate the effectiveness of the path taken by the Group towards a business model aimed at creating shared value, which takes into account the protection of the environment, citizens and the community, through the adoption of a sustainable governance and risk management system".
"The ratings obtained - said the Co-General Manager of Poste Italiane Giuseppe Lasco - reward the Group’s results achieved thanks to the solidity of the approach oriented towards sustainability and value creation, testifying to the commitment to integrate ESG issues into the company strategy. The acknowledged ability of the Company to adequately manage risks and opportunities in the current economic context makes Poste Italiane a company leader for sustainability and a reference for investors".
