Tax Transparency Report
As of 2018 (2018-2017), we have adopted a Total Tax Contribution model for the main countries where we operate, providing evidence of taxes paid and withheld.
Beginning 2020 we adopted an integrated model: Tax Transparency Report. This is prepared for all countries consistently with the rules provided for under OSCE Country-by-Country Report and includes information and data for Total Tax Contributions in the main countries where we are present. The Group believes that this model ensures a broad vision and a detailed measurement of the organization’s contributions to economic and social development in the regions/countries in which it operates.
The Report is completely aligned to the provisions provided by the Global Reporting Initiative (“GRI”) Standard 207, by the white paper “Measuring Stakeholder Capitalism Towards Common Metrics and Consistent Reporting of Sustainable Value Creation” del World Economic Forum (“WEF”) and to the Responsible Tax Principles developed by B Team.
