IBERSOL | 2019 Sustainability Report

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2019 At the Ibersol Group, corporate sustainability is a mission that, year after year, we have been enforcing in our practices, because doing better and taking action are the pre- cepts that guide us in achieving our ambitious ethical, social and environmental sus- tainability goals. This year, in compliance once again with the provisions of Article 508(G) of the Com- mercial Companies Code, with the wording introduced by Decree-Law 89/2017, of 28 July, we present the 13th edition of our Sustainability Report which describes the prac- tices implemented during the 2019 financial year and includes all necessary informa- tion to understand the development, performance, position and impact of the Group’s business in pursuit of its sustainability goals. In recent years, the Ibersol Group has implemented a continuous improvement model for the management processes that underlie its active sustainability policies, incorpo- rating, from the outset, the dynamics of environmental sustainability and, in its man- agement, striving for operational rationality and to minimise its environmental impacts. However, given its size and role as a major employer, the Group is also aware of the role it plays in social responsibility as a major employer. It provides thousands of intercon- nected jobs that are the foundation of households and especially relationships that, besides employability, ensure training and professional and personal development. No less important is the relationship with the different stakeholders, be they suppliers, partners or investors, who have a direct impact on economic sustainability. These sus- tainability dynamics have resulted in the integration of environmental, social and eco- nomic aspects into the Group’s decision-making process, clearly adding and creating value for its entire business ecosystem. A large group with big ambitions. A VISION OF CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY 7
