Consolidated
Non-Financial Statement
2025
Goals
The Consolidated Sustainability Report (also known as the “Statement” or “Disclosure”) provides the reader with clear, accurate, transparent, and understandable information on the AVIO Group’s environmental and social impacts, as well as impacts related to personnel, respect for human rights, and the fight against corruption, whether directly or indirectly caused by the Company or to which it has contributed. The document offers a thorough understanding of the main risks and opportunities associated with the Group’s business activities, as well as the results achieved and performance recorded in the area of sustainability.
As of fiscal year 2024, as a result of the new provisions introduced by Legislative Decree No. 125/2024, which transposed Directive (EU) 2022/2464 (“CSRD Directive”) into Italian law and required certain categories of companies to publish the consolidated sustainability statement in accordance with the new European Standards (“ESRS”), the AVIO Group is responding to these new disclosure requirements.

OUR STAKEHOLDERS
Avio considers its stakeholders to be among the company’s founding pillars.
That is why it has dedicated departments to pursue a proactive approach to the stakeholders it deals with, through acknowledging their needs and adopting diversified involvement practices oriented towards inclusion, transparency, fairness, attention to ethical, environmental and social aspects and consistency with the group’s business.
MATERIAL TOPICS
Avio continued its continuous improvement process in its Sustainability areas this year. Last year, the Consolidated Sustainability Report underwent a significant update in terms of structure and content, aligning with the new applicable regulations. This year, Avio also conducted a dual materiality analysis process to assess and manage the impacts, risks, and opportunities associated with sustainability issues, from the perspective of impact materiality (the so-called “inside-out” perspective) and financial materiality (the “outside-in” perspective), involving both internal and external stakeholders.

OUR COMMITMENT
Avio’s goal is to create a better, more sustainable tomorrow for future generations. To this end, it has chosen to draw inspiration from the 17 United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development, continuing its journey toward sustainable progress through the adoption of an integrated strategy that combines environmental, social, and governance protection with healthy economic growth. In its business model, Avio considers sustainability a fundamental principle that contributes to the definition of the Group’s strategic and operational decisions and ensures long-term growth consistent with the principles of respect for the environment, empowerment of people, and positive interaction with the territories and communities in which it operates.
AVIO stood out for its training program planning, particularly with the “JURY MENTION Digital Area and New Tools” Training Excellence Award presented by the AIF, and for being among the most active members within the VALORE D community. Specifically, the “Human Factor” project was launched, aimed at promoting an advanced safety culture and developing behavioral skills, supported by a cross-functional organizational skills plan. Furthermore, targeted training programs were introduced, including the 8D method for cross-functional problem solving and the updated Recruiting Excellence 2.0 program, focused on advanced selection and managerial skills.
At the same time, leadership and management development initiatives (Leadership Manufacturing Training, Manufacturing Excellence) were strengthened, and technical upskilling was enhanced, including internationally, along with mandatory safety training and the development of internal coaches.
In the cultural and value-focused sphere, training initiatives have been designed on emerging topics such as Artificial Intelligence (following the adoption of the company policy) and Gender Equality, in line with the certification process, helping to promote an inclusive and informed work environment.
In this regard, Avio has appointed a Gender Equality Steering Committee, composed of the Chairman of the Board of Directors and members of the Sustainability Committee, HR Director, General Counsel, and Sustainability Director, and has approved the Gender Equality Policy.
Avio S.p.A.’s Gender Equality Policy is based on the following fundamental principles: (i) impartiality, inclusiveness, and fairness; (ii) ethics, correctness, and transparency; (iii) development of human resources in accordance with the principle of equal opportunities; (iv) protection of the psychological and physical well-being of individuals; and (v) absolute opposition to all forms of violence and discrimination.
OUR SDGS GOALS
In 2021, the Avio Group drew up a Sustainability Policy, which outlines a concrete path for integrating sustainability into the business:
in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Agenda, the main goals on which it is based are the technology and innovation that form the core business of the Avio Group.
It focusses on topics in relation to which Avio can make a concrete and significant contribution to sustainable development to define specific lines of action that can help support and enhance the business.
Avio wants to distinguish itself as leader in technological development and innovation through cutting-edge products and services. Technological development aims to maximise the positive impact of the group’s activities in three dimensions related to the SDGs.
Among the goals on which the Sustainability Policy is based, in line with the SDGs, Avio aims above all for development of a cleaner space [SDG 9], to greater observation of the Earth for sustainable development [SDGs 13 and 15] and support of life in space [SDG 17].
Among the most significant and relevant initiatives regarding gender inclusion is membership in the Valore D Association, the first business association that promotes gender balance and an inclusive culture for the country’s growth. Avio has also obtained the Gender Equality certification.
With regard to health and safety at work and the prevention of major accidents and the environment, Avio complies with current regulations with a view to protecting and ensuring a safe working environment and business continuity.
Avio aims to become one of the major international contributors to space debris removal missions, the presence of which is potentially dangerous because it increases the probability of collisions with satellites.
Satellite technology is crucial for Earth observation activities: among the satellites in geostationary orbit, 27% collect data needed for a variety of purposes, including food security in at-risk areas, observing ecosystem changes, mapping the effects of climate change, etc.
Avio is committed to contributing to the fight against corruption through practices and policies that implement a culture of transparency and anti-corruption.
Avio aspires to become a reference interlocutor for promoting a paradigm of open innovation, which serves to maximise synergies with satellite manufacturers and research centres for the development of Earth observation technologies. In addition, it has co-signed the “Statement for a Responsible Space Sector” with other industrialists and representatives of the European Space Community (2022), which aims to provide a basis for sustainable development of the space sector and increase the contribution of space activities for the benefit of society.
