2003 Social Report - PDF file - Unipol

established a clear method of financial reporting which is also a method for veri-
fying what we have achieved and a stimulus to achieving shared goals.
Over the years we have tried to strike the right balance between the different
interests of stakeholders, between short and long-term objectives guaranteeing
the future of the Company.
Management has taken on this responsibility without shying away from the need
to ensure that each operation carried out meets the Company requirements
and, overall, the need to ensure coherence.
Significantly, this Social Report indicates a strengthening of the involvement
and role of stakeholders, with a transition from one-to-one communications to
a network of stakeholders in continuous dialogue, redefining the involvement
of each network member and the overall aims of the Company. The social re-
sponsibility of each stakeholder has been determined anew in the course of this
process.
This rethinking of the multi-stakeholder approach will lead to a focusing of the
Company strategy and a redefinition of the structure of the Company (URCs,
the Cesar Foundation), its technical resources and facilities, which – although
forerunners in the field – will be strengthened in order to provide additional com-
mitment to the target public and the community as a whole.
These are no easy aims. To achieve them, Unipol will continue to innovate with-
out being swayed by fashionable ideas and buzzwords. It will continue to be a
concrete business organization with a realistic and honest approach.
This is a necessary commitment to each and every member of the Company:
Unipol has grown thanks to them, their motivation, sense of belonging and skills,
enabling the Company to achieve its very tangible aims, without losing sight for
a moment of its distinguishing values in connection with the social economy and
the world of work.
