2023-2025 ESG Objectives

Diasorin is deeply dedicated to promoting initiatives that contribute to the challenge of climate change. This commitment is exemplified through our focus on transitioning towards renewable energy sources, a pivotal step in our strategy aimed at reducing carbon emissions from our operations. In alignment with this vision, the Group recently announced an ambitious target aimed at significantly cutting our carbon footprint. By 2027, we are committing to achieve a momentous milestone: the complete transition to 100% renewable energies across all our industrial sites.

In 2023, a project was launched to install photovoltaic panels at the Group's headquarters. Not only did this initiative yield immediate environmental benefits, resulting in a substantial reduction of over 500 tons of CO₂ equivalent per year, but it also generated a commendable output of more than 1 GWh of clean solar energy annually. This endeavor stands as a testament to our dedication to sustainable practices and underscores our commitment to fostering a more sustainable future for generations to come.

In 2023, Diasorin embarked on a multifaceted journey, engaging in a series of transformational projects aimed at strengthening energy efficiency in its European operations. Among these initiatives, the Group decided to replace conventional lighting systems with LED technology, and the implementation of automatic shutdown systems, strategically designed to reduce energy consumption during idle periods, thereby optimizing Diasorin’s energy efficiency in Europe.
The success of these efforts paved the way for their upcoming expansion on a global scale, underscoring Diasorin's ongoing commitment to promoting sustainability and driving innovation in all aspects of its operations.

In 2023, Diasorin received the UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 for the Environmental Management System and UNI EN ISO 45001:2018 for the Occupational Health and Safety Management System)certifications for the production plant located at the Group’s headquarters. Starting from 2024, the Group is committed to verify the possibility of extending this Group Management, Health, Safety and Environment System to its plants in the United States. For more information, please refer to the dedicated section.

One of the Group’s objectives is to define and formalize the Merit Principles that guide Diasorin’s current culture and values in order to promote the development and attraction of new talent,ensuring a fair and inclusive environment devoid of any form of discrimination.

The Group’s ESG Plan provides for the definition of a template for an engagement survey, to be sent to all employees on a recurring basis from 2025 onwards. This initiative signifies the Group's commitment to fostering a culture of transparency, inclusivity, and continuous improvement, where every employee's voice is valued and contributes to the collective pursuit of sustainability goals. 

Diasorin has established a longstanding commitment to promoting initiatives aimed at fostering social sustainability. In 2020, Diasorin decided to found the Diasorin Foundation, a pivotal step in formalizing the Group's efforts to support value education in schools, providing €1 million per year to fund its work. Starting from 2024, Diasorin will dedicate up to €1.5 million annually to social sustainability projects in line with the sustainability pillars defined at Corporate level and with the concrete activities undertaken by the Diasorin Foundation. Kindly access our Sustainability e-brochure for more information on our sustainability initiatives.

Since 2023, the Group has been implementing a Group sustainability policy in order to define at organizational level Diasorin’s priorities and areas of commitment in sustainability towards its internal and external stakeholders. The Sustainability Policy will also support the process of defining strategic choices regarding sustainability, managing and mitigating ESG risks, and will provide an operational structure for the plan at Group level. Kindly access our Group Sustainability Policy document via the following link.

In early 2023, Diasorin took a step towards bolstering its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives by establishing a corporate ESG function and forming an ESG Steering Committee. This significant move underscores the Group's unwavering commitment to integrating ESG principles into its operations. The newly created function serves as the cornerstone for driving forward the Group's ESG strategy, while the Steering Committee assumes direct responsibility for orchestrating its implementation and fostering ongoing development.

Diasorin has decided to promote the ESG program around the Group by encouraging all employees to further their understanding and to take a practical approach to sustainability issues. This includes dedicated internal meetings, a special segment during the annual company meeting, and comprehensive coverage of ESG and sustainability topics during the Investor Day held in December 2023. By integrating these discussions into key company events and platforms, Diasorin aims to ensure that all employees are well-informed and engaged in the Group's commitment to sustainability.

Diasorin ensures the proper implementation of the Group’s ESG objectives by assigning a variable objective (MBO) linked to the ESG program to strategic managers and the ESG plan manager. For more information on this topic, kindly access our Remuneration Report at the following link.
