SILAB is opening a new chapter in its CSR strategy with Actively Caring 2030, a five-year roadmap built on a solid methodological framework.
This program is part of a commitment to transparency across its entire value chain.
DOUBLE MATERIALITY: addressing key business challenges
The impacts, risks, and opportunities identified as compliant with CSRD requirements have been assessed and prioritized according to their financial and impact materiality.
Actively Caring 2030 deliberately draws on this analysis in order to address SILAB's priority CSR challenges consistently.
