2 3 LETTER TO STAKEHOLDERS 2022 Sustainability Report Letter to Stakeholders Within the delicate context of the post-pandemic recovery, 2022 began with the tragic war in Ukraine which had significant impacts on business, particularly the cost and availability of raw materials and energy, creating new challenges to be tackled in an increasingly complex present. It is thanks to our continuous improvement mindset that we have been able to confront such an extraordinary year in a pro-active and dynamic way, with an awareness that today, even more so than in the past, we all have an active part to play in the change, taking a decisive stand through concrete actions and choices. It is this sense of responsibility which is driving us to renew our efforts to continue our sustainability journey, one which is not an abstract concept but a concrete commitment to telling our story, our values, our connection to our roots and our vision for a better future for us and for generations to come. We want to leave behind a shared legacy, one that takes many forms: the environment, through safeguarding of natural resources; culture, with values and skills acquired over seventy-five years of Italian tradition; and lastly the products themselves, built to last and designed to create opportunities for joy, emotion and sharing. This is why, although it is not a regulatory requirement, we have chosen to publish our first sustainability report, and we are proud to be able to share our results, which are not the end point for us but rather stages along a virtuous journey of growth. Guaranteeing continuity of production, investing in supply chains by introducing principles of shared responsibility, reducing our environmental impact in terms of emissions and resource consumption, creating valuable partnerships for the development of sustainable products and solutions: these are our commitments which we pursue every day with the vital contribution of the men and women of Guardini, who have shown resilience and team spirit in the face of a constantly evolving context. We offer them our heartfelt thanks. Elena Guardini, Managing Director Marco Guardini, Managing Director
