Every Day Matters

Dear Stakeholders,

We are pleased to present our Sustainability Report for fiscal year 2024/25, the fourth of our journey.
For all people working in Fater, this document represents far more than a reporting exercise: it is a precious opportunity to reflect on the journey we have taken together, on the responsibility we embrace in contributing to a more sustainable future.
This Report is the result of the dedication of many people, inside and outside Fater, who work every day with enthusiasm and responsibility.

Thanks to this commitment, over the past six years we have grown both in revenue and in profit, demonstrating that sustainability not only can, but must, go hand in hand with business growth.

This year we have tried to make our Report more focused and readable, divided into 6 sections.

Everyday Together. Fater’s culture, called ‘People First’, is built on open and continuous dialogue with our stakeholders. We believe this is the best way to build a path that ensures consistency between our intent—what we say—and our work program—what we do every day. In this year’s report, we have gathered comments from some of the stakeholders who accompany us on our transformation journey.

Everyday Fater. In this section, you will find how sustainability values permeate every aspect of our culture and strategic decisions.This is why in Fater sustainability is not a separate chapter, but it is our identity.

Everyday a Better Society. Our commitment to reducing the gender pay gap continues, supported by concrete plans to achieve full parity while upholding meritocracy. During the year, Fater obtained the Gender Equality Certification, confirming our determination to overcome stereotypes and inequalities. With the support of an external partner, we are also finalizing the analysis of Brand Purpose initiatives launched last year, enabling us to measure their impact on communities more precisely and to set more targeted objectives.

Everyday Climate Protection. Over the past five years, compared to our 2020/2021 baseline, we have reduced our overall carbon footprint by 15%, a result that confirms Fater’s ongoing focus on reducing CO₂ emissions. However, we know that sustainability is a goal built together. For this reason, we feel a responsibility to promote best practices across our entire supply chain, aware that real transformation comes from interconnection and collaboration with all our partners.
We have strengthened a procurement model in which environmental impact assessment is an integral part of decision‑making. Reducing CO₂ emissions together with our suppliers is becoming increasingly central. Our goal is to continue reinforcing this dialogue across the value chain, fostering virtuous collaborations and contributing together to our ambitious sustainability objectives.

Everyday Responsibility. Fater has obtained the EcoVadis Gold Medal, the global benchmark platform for evaluating ESG performance. This achievement places us among the highest‑performing companies in the sector and demonstrates the value of the commitment we dedicate to sustainability every day. At the same time, we know that every recognition is only a milestone on our journey: we continue to challenge ourselves with the same willingness to learn and improve, convinced that growth comes from listening, continuous dialogue, and a constant drive for innovation.

Appendix. This section collects Fater sustainability program’s main numeric values, with the goal of making the main body of the Report more streamlined and focused and facilitate tables readability. 

At Fater, we believe that every day makes a difference: “Everyday Matters”.
This statement reminds us that Fater is what we do everyday to build a more sustainable future, always working to put people at the center.

Finally, a message for everyone who has the interest and the patience to read our Sustainability Report. We hope that the publication of this document can also become an opportunity for listening.
We therefore invite you to share your thoughts and suggestions; we will use them to continue improving together.

Enjoy the read!
