Through the implementation of its industrial strategy and thanks to its ecosystem of values and business model, Antares Vision Group is committed to pursuing a sustainable business model. This approach must also be reflected in a firm commitment to the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which form an integral part of it. Indeed, the SDGs represent business opportunities, capable of generating positive impacts also in environmental and social terms. Antares Vision Group carried out a consistency analysis, starting from its business model and a materiality analysis in order to define strategic objectives and projects implemented and/or planned with respect to the contents (goals and targets) of the 2030 Agenda. This analysis integrates the SDGs which are considered priorities in terms of the contribution and the commitments of Antares Vision Group. The identification and prioritisation of the SDGs was also carried out on two distinct levels of analysis along the cycle of shared value creation in the short, medium and long term:

1. Business impacts - Commitment and contribution driven by the impacts of the business (products and solutions): SDG 2 - SDG 3 - SDG 7 - SDG 8 - SDG 9 - SDG 12 - SDG 13.
2. Commitment/organisational and relational areas - Commitment to promote positive social effects, greater effectiveness of activities and achievement of business objectives (enabling factors): SDG 4 - SDG 5 - SDG 16 - SDG 17

PRESS RELEASE

Human rights

In continuity with its values and the commitment defined in the Code of Ethics, AV Group adopted a specific Human Rights Policy on 31 January 2023. This choice intends to reaffirm the importance of respect for human rights and strengthen AV Group's commitment to safeguarding them, in every country in which it operates. The policy is available on the Antares Vision Group website: Company Documents| Group Policies.

Measures to prevent corruption

With the adoption of the Policy (available in Company Documents| Group Policies), which took place on 31 January 2023, Antares Vision Group intends to express its commitment to combating corruption phenomena, defining general and specific principles to prevent potential corrupt practices and promoting integrity, traceability, responsibility, transparency and good faith in business management.

Human Resources

The Antares Vision Group recognises the centrality of people and undertakes to guarantee a fair and inclusive work environment, in which people are treated with dignity, decorum and respect, free from any form or type of violence and harassment. The definition of policies and, in general, of the Group's actions on human rights, diversity and equal opportunities translates into the creation of a work environment based on the principles of equal opportunities, regardless of differences of gender, religion, race, nationality, sexual orientation, social status, physical ability and age.

Diversity, equity and inclusion

The policy of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion adopted by the Group in 2023 available on the Antares Vision Group website (Company Documents| Group Policies), was drawn up with the aim of promoting equal conditions for women in the world of work and in compliance with the internal policies and procedures of the Antares Vision Group.

Female employees

23% of all employees of AV Group at 31 December 2022 are female. Within this figure, the percentage of women (in Italy and abroad) in a position which can be classified as being similar to executive level (top and upper management) is 20% (13% at the beginning of the three-year period) of all managers. Among middle managers and administrative staff (or roles comparable to these categories) the percentage of women is 25% of the total. The number of women is negatively affected by the still uneven participation of women in the university faculties and specialisations that AV Group mainly draws on (primarily Engineering).

Financial performance: value generation and distribution

In 2022, economic value generated amounted to Euro 224 million, and distributed to Euro 203.8 million. Of the latter, in 2022, 54.9% of the total value distributed was distributed to suppliers, confirming the role they play in the AV Group's value creation chain, while 41.3% went to employees.
