Bolton Group deeply believes in economic, environmental, and social sustainability. Its mission is to generate value responsibly and redistribute it fairly to all those involved in the supply chain and in the communities the Group operates in. Bolton's sustainability strategy is outlined by two essential elements: nature and people. "Circularity of the business model" and "individual well-being" are the two pillars that guide the Group in its efforts to lend substance to its commitment and leave a better world for future generations. Bolton Group considers transformative partnerships a key element of its development strategy, as they act as generators of positive change and value for society. For years, the Group has collaborated with NGOs, entities and associations, including WWF, Oxfam, the United Nations Global Compact, ISSF, Valore D and Banco Alimentare, financing projects in the fields of school education, health, scientific research, environmental protection, art and culture.
