In a message shared in the year 2022, with SAATI’s 90th birthday approaching, Alberto Novarese, Chairman, SAATI Spa, had conveyed, “I have given much thought to the history of the company. I have looked at what we have achieved – a highly successful business, employing SAATIZENS around the globe, at the top of some market segments – and considered what we hope to achieve in the future. For me, the future of the company is holistic. The future of SAATI and how we measure our success includes not only our business growth goals, but also the goals we have for our people, our customers and the world. From my perspective, they are all connected. From supply chain to business model, the bottom line and ultimately impact – companies need to globalize, remain flexible and consider the big picture to ensure their longevity and durability. Personally, sustainability is a big part of SAATI’s future. We’ve seen a rapid, increasing focus on this from our customers since our last report. More than that, the world is focusing on sustainability with mandates like the UN 2030 agenda. In the future, I see an environment where sustainability efforts are no longer a bonus, but a requirement – which is why being a leader in this area, and investing in our efforts to meet these orders, is absolutely business-critical. In this way, sustainability is connected to our ability to conduct business over the next ten years and in doing so, I believe we will secure our legacy for the next 90 years.”
