AIM Confirmed by EcoVadis: Sustainability is Increasingly at the Centre

23 Oct 2025

AIM Italy has received the EcoVadis ‘Committed’ badge for the second consecutive year. EcoVadis is one of the world's leading platforms for assessing ESG performance. This recognition highlights the group's commitment to integrating sustainability into all its activities.

Since launching the EcoVadis assessment process two years ago, AIM Italy has achieved significant growth. In 2024, it achieved a higher overall score earning it the second-level ‘Committed' badge under the rating system. Progress was made in all four reference pillars: environment, labour practices and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.

Sustainability is no longer just an innovative project; today, it is an integral part of how we work and lead our teams,’ says Patrizia Semprebene Buongiorno, Vice President of AIM Group. ‘We have extended our commitment to internal processes and events, with clear protocols and continuous training, because we believe that change comes from daily actions shared with all stakeholders.’

In recent years, AIM Group has introduced several concrete actions in favour of environmental, social and ethical sustainability. The main ones are:

  • Waste reduction and a plastic-free philosophy: The Group has adopted a structured approach based on the 4 Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover).
  • A responsible supply chain: AIM Group has introduced a Sustainability Protocol for the supply chain.
  • Worker health and well-being: The Workplace Health Promotion (WHP) project fosters the physical and psychological well-being of staff and encourages the adoption of healthy lifestyles.
  • Training and internal culture: Staff training programmes to raise awareness of environmental and ethical issues.

The EcoVadis recognition motivates us to do even more. We will continue to invest in initiatives that combine ethics, environmental protection and people's wellbeing in order to generate lasting value for clients, communities and partners,’ says Patrizia Semprebene Buongiorno.
