SUSTAINABILITY, A GLOBAL NEED

Our stakeholders

According to the UN, as early as 2030 average global temperatures could rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius. The goal of the 2015 Paris Agreement was to limit glob- al warming preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, due to the possible severe consequences. If temperatures were to rise by 2 degrees by 2050, 56% of current wine production areas could disappear*. The agri- cultural sector both contributes to, and is a victim of, climate change.

To identify stakeholders, the members of the Stra- tegic Sustainability Committee engaged in a process of analysis that explored: • the relations that Guido Berlucchi establishes with the world around it; • the issues relevant to Guido Berlucchi's business. With this in mind, we determined all the persons who influence and/or are influenced by the activities we carry out, by our products and services and by our performance. We try to engage these stakeholders, in different ways and at different rates, to develop and consolidate lasting relationships. In 2021 too, we con- tinued our initiatives for stakeholder engagement, dis- cussion and dialogue commenced in previous years.
