LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Stakeholders, 2020 has been an extraordinary year on all levels. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused an unexpected crisis for communities, families, busi“SOLUTIONS FOR REAL, nesses and civil society around WIDESPREAD AND the world. Despite this, being SHARED WELL-BEING ready for such a difficult chalAND SECURITY CAN ONLY lenge was of fundamental imporBE BUILT WITH JOINT, tance for us and something that SOLID AND MULTIis a source of pride. A solid busiSTAKEHOLDER EFFORT” ness, built on lasting foundations but capable of adapting over time and to changing contexts is the result of an evolutionary path built by the entire Maire Tecnimont Group, in our domestic markets as well as in more remote areas. This is based on extensive teamwork at all levels, teamwork that is always proactive and not merely reactive in the face of an emergency. Such a complex start to the new decade highlights even further the magnitude of the challenges that the economic system will have to face at international level to manage the global objectives of sustainability. The spread of the pandemic was indeed a powerful accelerator of change as well as a trigger in critical situations. Our role at such an alarming time was, above all, to make sure our people were safe, and then to secure the value that, thanks to them, we create all over the world. We listened with even greater attention to the needs our stakeholders expressed during this period of exceptional stress. An efficient use of resources and inclusive development are the prerequisites for the real creation and retention of economic, social and environmental value for us and our ecosystem. Being there for our stakeholders – above all our employees, business
partners, suppliers and the communities where we operate – is not only our duty as an active part of society, but it is part of our responsibility to ensure the sustainability of the business in the coming years and contribute to the socio-economic opportunities of future generations. We have learned a lot from this turning point. Solutions for real, widespread and shared well-being and security can only be built with joint, solid and multistakeholder effort that also focuses on elements that lie at the margins of the system. We must face the challenges towards sustainability that we might encounter up to the crucial milestone, 2030, with the same impetus.
