The Impresa Sostenibile 2025 Award, promoted by Il Sole 24 Ore in collaboration with Piccola Industria di Confindustria and the Pontifical Committee for the World Children's Day, realised in partnership with the Ministry for the Environment and Energy Security and Unioncamere and financed by the Pnrr, is now in its fourth edition with the aim of recognising and enhancing Italian small and medium-sized enterprises that integrate sustainability - environmental, social and economic - into their growth strategy.
In a context marked by energy transition, supply chain evolution and process digitisation, with increasing global geopolitical complexity, the award aims to highlight companies that have been able to turn change into a lasting competitive advantage.
The Sustainable Enterprise Award aims to highlight SMEs that, through concrete projects, have demonstrated to combine economic development, environmental protection and social responsibility, becoming models of excellence for the entire national ecosystem. Each company can apply in a maximum of two of the three award categories:
Environmental sustainability - Innovations, processes or products that reduce the impact on the environment
Economic sustainability - Strategies that generate employment growth and territorial value by promoting a robust and resilient business model
