Resilience and Growth in a Challenging Macroeconomic Landscape
In a complex macroeconomic year—marked by international geopolitical tensions, fierce Asian competitive pressure, and the introduction of new US tariffs by the second Trump administration—Vimi Fasteners’ business model proved to be robust and resilient. The Group recorded a 1.5% increase in revenues alongside a significant improvement in overall profitability.
"2025 was a year dense with global trade tensions that tested our responsiveness, ultimately confirming the Group's great resilience," declared Marco Sargenti, CEO of Vimi Fasteners. "We resolutely pursued a path toward authentic and measurable sustainability. We look to the future with confidence, certain that a company's growth is inseparable from the well-being of its community."
Key ESG Performance Indicators
Vimi Fasteners’ sustainability performance is backed by clear, steadily improving metrics:
Growing ESG Performance: The proprietary sustainability indicator, Next Index, rose to 65% (up from 61% in 2024 and 55% in 2023).
Renewable Energy: 82% of the company’s electricity consumption now comes from renewable sources, achieved through a strategic mix of the internal photovoltaic system and certified green energy supplies.
Circular Economy: The recovery rate of manufacturing waste reached 69%, drastically reducing the company's industrial environmental impact.
Social Responsibility and Governance Milestones
On the social and governance fronts, Vimi Fasteners accelerated investments across three key areas:
Well-being and Safety: Structural interventions were made to improve the microclimate within production departments, coupled with a strong commitment to safety protocols. This resulted in a further reduction in workplace accident rates.
Cybersecurity: The company officially launched its roadmap to achieve TISAX certification (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange), the gold standard for protecting corporate and client information assets.
Community Support: Financial commitments were renewed to support local educational institutions and the Caritas community soup kitchen.
Flagship Project: Guarding Local Biodiversity
Among the flagship projects of 2025, the partnership with the UNESCO Tuscan-Emilian Apennine Biosphere Reserve stands out. Vimi Fasteners purchased the park’s Sustainability Credits to actively offset its CO
2 emissions.
This investment directly funds the responsible management and protection of local forests, enhancing their carbon sequestration capacity, reducing the risk of hydrogeological instability, and safeguarding the plant and animal biodiversity of the region where the company operates.
