2030 strategy
Our sustainability strategy towards 2030
In 2022 we decided to clearly and transparently outline our 2030 sustainability strategy, in order to be able to guarantee to all our stakeholders the consistency of our actions with our objectives.
We look to 2030 with the desire to get there together, with our collaborators, partners, suppliers and customers, aware that Manifattura Big can be what together, all of us, want it to be.
