Industrial growth must go hand in hand with care for the environment. For Bracco, this is an absolute priority, inextricably bound with a vision and operating approach based on responsibility and geared to the long term.

Through its annual Environmental Report, Bracco illustrates the transparency of its approach, based on dialogue with stakeholders and a constant, unwavering commitment to growth based on innovation and sustainability. Implemented through extensive investment, continuous monitoring, involvement and training for personnel, the company's environmental policy is an integral part of the Group's strategic programs for a balanced and harmonious integration of business, environmental and social interests.

Bracco's results on environmental issues over the last ten years have followed a positive trend and reflect the path taken by the company to consolidate the measures taken for prevention and continuous improvement. A path in which, step by step, the Group has accorded growing importance to and responsibility for an environment project which, first and foremost, is a project for the quality of life for everyone. And for an enterprise in the healthcare business, quality of life is an inalienable duty.

By implementing our environmental system on the basis of a set of precise indicators, we have given concrete form to the principles of sustainability and displayed a "corporate citizenship" that represents our determination to make an active contribution to the growth of civil society.
