THE GROUP’S STAKEHOLDERS AND RELATIONSHIP CHANNELS

Stakeholders play a fundamental role in Panariagroup’s sustainable growth. Through their involvement and through consideration of their needs, the Group maintains a constant vision towards the different contexts in which it operates, working hard to consider their expectations, perceptions and priorities within the decision-making processes and in the definition of economic, environmental and social objectives.

In its Sustainability Report, Panariagroup has carefully identified the individuals or groups of individuals who have a relationship with the company and its activities, through an analysis that considered the following variables: tension, influence, responsibility and dependence.

This exercise was carried out taking into consideration the principles of the GRI Standards.

WE SUPPORT UN GLOBAL COMPACT

Panariagroup joins the UN Global Compact. This is the largest corporate sustainability initiative worldwide and was set up by the United Nations. There are now over 21.000 companies participating in 164 countries.

The UN Global Compact encourages its private sector participants to adopt policies in four fundamental areas: respect for human rights, fair labour standards, environmental sustainability and the fight against corruption. These translate into ten principles that member companies must adopt and respect in their approach to business, so that the ethics and values become an integral part of their strategies and operations, in full compliance with the principles of Corporate Social Responsibility.

Panariagroup, by adhering to the UN Global Compact, is committed to these fundamental rules and is open to comparison on decisive issues at the international level, while confirming their central role in the company’s development policies.
