Gilardoni awarded with the ESG for Peace: “Peace and business, an indispensable combination”
Mandello del Lario, May 5, 2025 – This year we were awarded as a “Business of Peace” with the ESG Award for Peace. Forbes also highlighted this, underlining how “nowadays peace and business are an indispensable combination.”
The award celebrates the company’s commitment to creating a business model rooted in the territories, attentive to the well-being of employees and to environmental and social sustainability. An award that comes at a time when industry is also called upon to become a community builder, as President Marco Taccani Gilardoni explains in a wide-ranging interview.
“My goal as an entrepreneur is to create an ideal situation for employees: a balance between work, family, nature and personal growth” – says Taccani Gilardoni. “We stayed in Mandello because we believe that innovation can be achieved even in a small town, without losing the connection with one’s roots.”
The interview published in FORBES magazine untitled: “Business of Peace”, highlights the humanistic vision of the company: attention to health, safety, active involvement of people and rootedness in the local fabric. A model that recalls the principles of the great companies of the twentieth century, such as Olivetti, but declined in the contemporary world.
With the desire not to delocalize, Gilardoni invests in the territory and in the younger generations, maintaining production in Mandello del Lario and collaborating with educational institutions to transmit knowledge, experience and values.
“We are a company that looks to the future without forgetting where it comes from” – says the president – “Peace is not only the absence of war, it is the daily construction of harmony in the places where we live and work.”
The ESG recognition for Peace strengthens Gilardoni’s role as a point of reference for an industry that combines technological excellence, social responsibility and ethical vision.
