People: inclusion, wellbeing and continuous development 
People are the most important resource at De Nora, and the "People Strategy" is the reference point that guides the Group's action in attracting, motivating, and developing talents who share the same values and participate in the company's life.

De Nora has always taken a holistic approach to employee wellbeing, identifying mental health as a top priority along with physical health protected by health and safety measures. The ESG plan provides for the development of comprehensive solutions and the consolidation of those already in place, including surveys, training programs, hotlines, psychological counters, health insurance, and in-house medical services.

Multiculturalism and diversity are strategic resources that De Nora promotes by continuously pursuing best practices to ensure equal opportunities, and respect for diversity and inclusion, against any form of discrimination.

Additionally, De Nora has been certified as a Great Place to Work in Italy for the second year in a row, and at the beginning of the year, it also received this recognition in China. Moreover, in Italy, De Nora was ranked among the top 10 best workplaces for blue-collar workers by GPTW in 2024.

Engagement of local communities, partnerships and development of a sustainable supply chain
De Nora has always been actively involved in projects in line with its values, including numerous charitable initiatives and community support, also involving its workforce. The ESG plan sets out to strengthen the development of partnerships with higher technical institutes and universities, and relations with local communities.

Advocating for a sustainable supply chain is crucial to our business as we strive to establish a network that aligns with our vision and dedication to ESG principles. De Nora aims to lead by example within its value chain by upholding human rights and environmental safeguards and providing active support to suppliers as they progress toward sustainable practices and growth.
