ROMA (ITALPRESS) – More than 400 million invested in the real economy to support Italian companies in the agri-food sector and ensure not only the solidity and productive capacity of companies but also the employment, incomes and the ability to spend families, in order to build a new social pact among generations. This is the picture that emerges from the first Social Report of the Enpaia Foundation presented in Rome at Villa Blanc.
The Report, drawn up by the Enpaia Study Office with the support of the Luiss University and presented by Professor Mauro Marè, highlights a robust economic-financial framework of the Agricultural Insurance Fund: the 2024 advance reaches 22.8 million euros, growing compared to the 16.2 million of 2023, while the net estate stands at 2,14 billion euros, confirming the long-term stability of the surplus; and the preliminary data of the Among the most important operations are the participations in Masi, BF, Granarolo and, more recently, Novamarine, Italian excellence in shipbuilding. These include EUR 254.2 million allocated in ESG instruments, in support of ecological transition and sustainable innovation.
The Social Report clearly addresses the demographic issues affecting the sustainability of the social security system: the birth rate of 1,1 children per woman, the average age of the first child up to 32 years, and a labour market that struggles to support the generational change.
“In this context – we read in a note -, Enpaia strengthens its role through the development of complementary pensions – in particular through Agrifondo – and through a wealth management based on prudence and sustainability. The protection of the intergenerational pact requires strategic choices, consistent investments and a long-term vision. Large space is dedicated to integrated welfare, which evolves towards a multi-level model capable of integrating compulsory pension, supplementary health (FIA and FIS) and bilaterality (EBNCI). The new bilateral body is a decisive step in strengthening the protection of workers in the Bonifica consortia through ANBI. The new development performance is particularly concerned with non-self-sufficiency, life-work reconciliation and family support, expanding the social protection network.”
The Social Rendicontation also analyses the impact of geopolitical shocks and global tensions – logistical crisis, increased energy costs, duties and international instability – particularly affecting small agricultural enterprises, identified as the most exposed ring of the supply chain. The guidelines identified by the Foundation concern the adoption of Agriculture 4.0, the reduction of pesticides in line with the European Green Deal and the enhancement of organic farming, which in Italy has reached 2.45 million hectares.
“The first Social Report was born to measure and make visible the overall impact of the Body: economic, social and environmental. Not only solid financial results – said President Giorgio Piazza – but also ability to generate value for members, support the innovation of the agricultural sector and develop an increasingly advanced integrated welfare model.”
“From this Budget – said General Manager Roberto Diacetti – clearly emerges the role of flywheel that could carry out institutional investors, such as pension funds, banking foundations and insurance, for the benefit of the Italian economy. Enpaia is an innovative model oriented towards sustainable growth that focuses companies and people.”
“The Social Report – emphasizes Enpaia – is a tool for transparency and dialogue with stakeholders, able to make the choices of the Fon readableand show the impact of his activities on the professional community he represents. Today’s presentation confirms Enpaia’s desire to be a responsible institutional actor, able to combine tradition and innovation, protection and development, and to contribute to the resilience of the national agri-food system.
Although not obliged by the current legislation (Legislative Decree 509/1994), the Foundation chose to draft the Social Report by adopting a transparency practice recommended by the Guidelines of the Ministry of Labour and the Court of Auditors. A voluntary choice that strengthens the reputation of the Ente and confirms its role as a virtuous model in the landscape of the privately-privileged social security drawers.”
In addition, Enpaia operates according to certified standards: ISO 9001 – Quality management systems; ISO/IEC 27001 – Information security management systems; ISO 37001 – Management systems for corruption prevention; UNI/PdR 125 – Guidelines for Gender Equality – certifying the quality of processes, data security, corruption prevention and commitment to gender equality. A system of guarantees that strengthens transparency towards 41.033 active members. The strengthening of Risk Management and Internal Audit offices completes the path of modernization of governance, alongside ISO certifications a structured system of prevention of operational, financial and organizational risks.
In a country that makes less and less children, the sustainability of the social security system depends on the solidity of the institutions that support it. “With a patrimony of 2,14 billion euros and prudent management, Enpaia confirms one of the infrastructures on which to build a new social pact between generations – concludes the note -. A model that looks to the future of Italy, but that for solidity, governance and vision can become a reference even beyond the national borders.”.
