1. INTRODUCTION

On December 6, 2014, Directive 2014/95/UE (also the "Directive") of the European Parliament and Council, relating to the disclosure requirements about non-financial information and diversity policies for large public-interest entities, came into force. The Directive shows the will of the community legislator to contribute to the transition to a global sustainable economy that combines long-term profitability, social justice and environmental protection, by promoting the development of companies that adopt transparent management policies oriented to achieve better performances also in non-financial aspects.

Under Italian Law, the Directive was transposed by Legislative Decree n. 254 of December 30, 2016 (also the "Decree" or the "L.D. 254/2016"), which requires for the large public-interest entities1 the publication of a consolidated disclosure of non-financial information (also the "NFI", shorthand for Non-Financial Information) which covers information, to the extent necessary to ensure an understanding of the group's activities, performance, results, and impact, related to five fields, which are: environmental, social, human resources, respect of human rights and active and passive anti- corruption topics, which are relevant, considering the activities and the characteristics of the group. In particular the Decree, with reference to these five fields, requires at least a description of the main risks, generated or endured, any policies adopted, the related performance indicators and the business model for the management and organization of the activities (Art. 3 par. 1).

Gruppo MutuiOnline S.p.A., as a large public-interest entity, is subject to the provisions of the above-mentioned Decree, starting from the disclosure for the year ended December 31, 2017. This NFI, which refers to 2020, reports data and information related to the financial year ended December 31, 2020 and, for comparison purposes, of the financial years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019.

  • As defined by Art. 1 par. 1 of the Decree

2. LETTER TO STAKEHOLDERS

Dear readers,

The obligation to prepare the Non-Financial Information, in accordance with Legislative Decree 254/2016, required the Group to start a process to report its performance in the environmental, social, personnel and human rights management, and anti-corruption areas and to pay even greater attention to the impacts that our activity produces on the social and environmental sphere in the short, medium and long term.

The Group's activities are based on respect for values such as legality, transparency, the protection of human resources, equal opportunities and the development of a positive working environment. Respect for such values, reported in the Code of Ethics, is extended to all employees and third parties with relations with the Group.

The Group currently has over 2,300 employees, who represent a fundamental resource for the business. For this reason, we have always promoted a culture focused on the valorization and growth of our employees, recognizing their results.

In this year, strongly characterized by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Group has taken prompt action, also on the basis of the measures issued by the Government, to contain the possible impacts of the health threats to its employees, and has equipped its personnel with all the necessary tools to continue working remotely and in safe conditions.

We hope that this report will be of interest for a better understanding of the most relevant non-financial aspects for the Group and its stakeholders.

Marco Pescarmona

Chairman of the Board of Directors
