Our Commitment to a Sustainable Future
At Il Sole 24 ORE Group, we believe that sustainability is an integral part of the way we conduct business, deliver information, and promote culture. For more than 160 years, we have contributed to the country’s economic, social, and cultural growth, supporting businesses, professionals, institutions, and citizens in understanding the major transformations shaping our time. Sustainability is a cross-cutting principle that guides strategic decisions, operational activities, and long-term value creation. Through the 2025-2027 Sustainability Plan, we have integrated measurable ESG objectives into business processes, governance systems, and organizational development pathways.
Our sustainable approach
Our approach is built on two complementary dimensions: internal sustainability and value creation for communities, consumers, and stakeholders through information, culture, education, and events.

In 2025, the Group expanded its in-house renewable energy production through a new photovoltaic system, obtained ISO 14064-1 certification for its emissions inventory, maintained ISO 14001 certification, used 100% certified paper for its daily newspaper, and developed sustainable mobility initiatives.
People
People are the Group’s most valuable asset. In 2025, the UNI/PdR 125:2022 Gender Equality Certification was renewed for the second time. The Group also strengthened its Corporate Academy programs, digital skills, cybersecurity and AI development pathways, as well as welfare, corporate volunteering, mentoring, and coaching initiatives.
