ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
With reference to the Group’s Sustainability Governance, the Board of Directors of Pirelli & C. S.p.A., supported in its activities by the Sustainability Committee, approves the objectives and targets for sustainable management integrated in the Group Plan.
The Board of Directors also approves Pirelli’s Annual Report, including the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement, which is in turn subject to the supervision of the Board of Statutory Auditors in accordance with Legislative Decree no. 254 of 30 December 2016. Within the Board of Directors, the CEO is responsible for sustainability matters.
The strategic evolution of Group Sustainability is entrusted to the Sustainability Strategic Committee, a body appointed in 2004, chaired by the Executive Vice Chairman and composed of the Company’s Top Management representing all the organizational and functional responsibilities. The Committee has strategic responsibility and holds ordinary meetings at least twice a year. The Sustainability Strategic Committee is being supported by a Sustainability Operational Committee chaired by the CEO and consisting of the Company’s Top Management, which will be responsible for the strategic and operational management of the Group’s Sustainability matters, including, among others, Climate Change and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
The organizational structure is thus made up of a Sustainability and New Mobility Department reporting directly to the CEO of the company, which has oversight of the management at a Group level and proposes plans for sustainable development to the Sustainability Strategic Committee. The Group Sustainability and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer works in the Sustainability and New Mobility Department.
The Department receives support from:
→ a Sustainability Working Group made up of sustainability referents within the different company departments in order to guarantee constant monitoring and coordination of strategic programmes with an impact on the competence of specific departments;
→ Country Sustainability Managers & Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Managers to oversee activities covering all Group affiliates. The role is held by the Country CEOs, who report directly to them for the operational management of Country plans.
