In recent years, the issue of security of supply chains and in particular the need to ensure continuity of supply - after the many bottlenecks created as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic and then the war between Russia and Ukraine - has become central for European companies.
The solutions devised and developed were of different types, but all had as their lowest common denominator the desire to reduce distances to suppliers and increase control over the supply chain.
The initiative of We.Do Holding, a Padua-based group in the furniture-design sector, which presented 'Supply Echosystem', a project that has two objectives: to give companies in the production chain the opportunity to benefit from a solid and reliable certification and supply chain rating system, new financial instruments and real possibilities to be more sustainable (also through the sustainable supply chain contract signed with Intesa-Sanpaolo); and to implement an osmosis of skills between the parent company, its companies and the chain of suppliers, according to the contractual model of business networks.
Today, the We.Do Holding group (330 million euro turnover in 2023 and 28 million euro Ebitda) is made up of 11 companies, which design and produce systems and solutions for the home, corporate and project world (kitchens, living rooms, sofas, office furniture and seating, lighting, bathroom furniture, medical devices and furnishings). With its contract division, it operates as a general contractor for turnkey projects, and also follows the interior design of projects, taking care of the building envelope in its entirety, from construction to the supply of furniture and complementary services such as energy management and operational rental.
In the business plan 2025-2028, which will be approved in the coming months, not only the construction of buildings, furnishing and the provision of technology, but also the management of sustainable services, such as utilities and energy production, will be set as a group objective.
