THE FIRST CUVÉE HOW TO READ THIS REPORT
The first sustainability report, covering the 2019 fi - nancial year, was symbolically called “The First Har- vest”, an opportunity to reap the rewards of a year’s work. We decided to call the second one “The First Pressing”, the next stage of the Franciacorta Method. In fact, we have described the part we play in cre- ating and developing a winegrowing region globally recognised for its excellence, as well as everything we continue to do to be increasingly sustainable in each and every aspect of our work.
This Report for the 2021 financial year is the final part of the first three-year period documenting our commitment to sustainability: an ongoing commit- ment that, just like in a cuvée, is built on the work that has gone before and needs many things to come together for a perfect result; in the case of the Report, the work of multiple people with the con- tribution of every department, able to collaborate thanks, in part, to the governance structure that we built up over the preceding years.
The third edition of the Guido Berlucchi & C. Spa Sustainability Report was also prepared in accordance with the “GRI Standards” defined by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and reports the results obtained between 1 January and 31 December 2021.

Guido Berlucchi & C. Spa holds equity stakes in three other companies: Agricola della Franciacorta Società Agricola srl (99%, from 1 July 2021), Caccia al Piano 1868 Società Agricola srl (100%), and Antica Cantina Fratta Spa (77%), which operate in accord- ance with the same sustainability principles and are included in the sustainability development plan with targeted actions suited to the individual con- text. The first is engaged in winegrowing and grape processing and Guido Berlucchi has been the main purchaser of its products since it was established
(some figures in the report are actually shown in ag - gregate form).
The other two operate with their own specific pro - duction organisation, distributing products under their respective brands. We preferred not to con- solidate the facts and figures, leaving it up to the companies to independently communicate specific information on how they manage sustainability is- sues internally.
Additional information on the preparation of this report can be found in the “Report Drafting Process” section on page 82.
