Sustainability Report

Our 2025 Sustainability Report

In keeping with our tradition, we identify each financial year with a keyword that encapsulates its essence. For 2025, the chosen term is Transition. 2025 represented a crucial phase of evolution and strategic planning for Manteco, laying the foundations for major projects that are coming to fruition in 2026.

This is the 10th edition of our Sustainability Report. It has been prepared with reference to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), and its content is determined by the results of our Double Materiality Assessment.
