The Responsible Approach
2023 has been a year of reinforcing our ESG commitments and adapting to new regulatory frameworks. These efforts, rooted in past initiatives, have positioned us well to navigate the complexities of the modern financial landscape and pursue sustainable growth
Gianandrea Perco CEO
Our approach is built as a constant dialogue among the three essential dimensions of Growth, Inclusion and Sustainability: Sustainability as a milestone route made by conscious choices and meticulous monitoring, Inclusion as the constant sharing of common values between DeA and the portfolio companies, Growth as the goal and the path as a meeting point between progress and inclusion
