A commitment to social sustainability towards a more equitable and inclusive future

Sidi Sport has endorsed the "Business for People and Society" Manifesto, a document aimed at businesses and drafted by the UN Global Compact Network Italy, the local network of the United Nations Global Compact, the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative.

The Manifesto seeks to inspire a new and more ambitious commitment from the private sector not only in combating climate change but also in the social dimension of sustainability, involving their supply chains and extending the impact throughout the entire value chain, going beyond legal obligations where possible.

By signing the Manifesto, Sidi Sport reaffirms its commitment to promoting business practices that contribute to the well-being of people and society, in full alignment with the UN's sustainable development goals.

"The goal of the Manifesto is to foster an increasing commitment from private sector companies in the social dimension of sustainability to ensure a fair and sustainable future for generations to come, leaving no one behind. The signing of the Manifesto represents a fundamental step for Sidi Sport in demonstrating our commitment to promoting social sustainability, alongside environmental and governance objectives. We have adopted our own Code of Ethics, support sustainability policies, are among the supporters of WEP's Women's Empowerment Principles for gender equality, and pursue inclusion because for us, people matter most. In line with the strategy of the parent company Italmobiliare, we are committed to pursuing a growth model that respects people, the environment, and the community," stated Davide Rossetti, CEO of Sidi Sport.

"We have joined the United Nations Global Compact and today are pleased to sign the Manifesto 'Business for People and Society,' thereby formalizing our commitment to further strengthen the social dimension of our corporate strategy."
