The value of reputation and the Sustainability Indices in which Poste Italiane is present
In the current context, the creation of value is increasingly based on intangible resources; therefore, Poste Italiane considers reputation to be a fundamental asset capable of guiding the decisions of its stakeholders. A good corporate reputation not only reinforces trust in the Company but also increases its competitiveness. In line with this objective, the Group has decided to follow up on its commitment by confirming its traditional vocation of being close to the territory and the local community, even more so at a difficult time such as that brought about by the current national and international context.
Thanks to Poste Italiane's significant commitment and the effectiveness of the strategic choices made to consolidate the Group's image and reputation, the Company has received numerous awards and recognitions in recent years.
