Sustainability

With a long-standing commitment to the construction and maintenance of high-quality railway infrastructure, CLF recognizes that progress is not truly progress unless it takes into account environmental, social and economic impacts.

We put people first: employees, communities, suppliers and stakeholders are an integral part of our growth journey.

We operate with integrity, promoting health, safety, diversity and inclusion, because we believe in collective responsibility.

We take concrete action on the environment, focusing on reducing emissions and technological innovation to make our processes more sustainable. At the same time, we recognise the importance of the circular economy and biodiversity protection, which are guiding principles for our future development.

We look ahead with clear and transparent objectives. We are committed to building infrastructure that lasts, respects the local area and future generations, and supported by a corporate culture based on responsibility, dialogue and shared values.

Transparency

CLF is committed to transparent and structured communication of its ESG progress, making accurate data available on emissions, energy consumption, environmental and social practices, legal and contractual compliance.

We are preparing to report non-financial information in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and we encourage ongoing dialogue with stakeholders to understand their expectations, needs and opportunities for improvement.

Sustainability targets: commitments taken by the group and CLF

In line with its Sustainability Policy and the Strukton Group's strategy, CLF has defined a set of concrete and measurable objectives that guide action across all ESG dimensions. These targets include both those set at Group level and those specific to CLF, designed to contribute directly and consistently to their pursuit.

Alongside the commitments that support the achievement of the Group's climate and environmental objectives, CLF has set additional short-term objectives in areas relevant to its operations.

In particular, the company focuses on strengthening health and safety at work (with clear targets on key accident indicators), sourcing renewable energy, responsible human capital management (guaranteeing wages above the living wage) and raising ESG awareness (targeted training for key functions and committees).

This structure allows the Group's strategic vision to be aligned with CLF's operational priorities, ensuring an integrated and responsible approach to sustainability management, while strengthening the company's ability to manage risks and seize opportunities related to the sustainable transition.

The following table summarises the main commitments in the various ESG areas
