Message
from the CEO
ROMI conducts its activities based on core values that guide its actions. These values include respect for people, the
environment, and applicable legislation, as well as a commitment to social responsibility, integrity, transparency, and continuous innovation.
Several years ago, we launched the ESG Portal and have since presented initiatives in our ESG Reports that demonstrate our long-standing commitment to social, environmental, and corporate governance practices, providing transparency to the
public.
We are pleased to present another edition of our ESG Report. A dedicated multidisciplinary team prepared this document, which includes both consolidated practices and initiatives under development. This reflects our ongoing commitment to responsible and sustainable corporate conduct.
As emphasized throughout the report, the ESG approach is deeply integrated into our business model. This approach strengthens the company and promotes building a more sustainable future for society as a whole.
We are proud to share our ESG practices and reaffirm our renewed commitment to people, the environment and corporate governance.
We will continue to make progress and provide you with new updates next year.
