Cesce, we create responsible value

At Cesce we are committed to creating responsible value through a business model that integrates sustainability as the essence of our own activity..
 
As experts in protecting and promoting businesses, we contribute to a more sustainable future, helping the business fabric to have greater protection against risks, promoting their internalisation and opting for innovative digital solutions that are client-oriented.

All of this contributes to promoting sustainable business development that boosts social well-being. 

As part of the strategic “Cesce 2025 Impulse Plan”, Sustainability is established as a new field of action within the strategic pillars.
 

Sustainability Master Plan


Our firm commitment to sustainability is materialised in an ambitious Sustainability Master Plan, which guides us up to 2026 with quantifiable targets and objectives and specific actions.

This roadmap integrates sustainability in the business strategy, aligning it with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and with current and future regulatory requirements.

The Plan is created as the main driver of change, reinforcing the work already carried out and structuring new sustainable initiatives. Additionally, it promotes a responsible corporate culture which involves our stakeholders in the joint construction of a more sustainable business model.
