OUR IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
the following pages provide a report on our approach to ESG issues as set out in our second Sustainability Report.
The latest events that have involved our entire Planet have made us focus even more on the importance of adopting responsible behaviour, for the protection of the environment and social well-being.
"Humanity has the ability to make development sustainable to ensure that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". This remark, taken from the Burdtland Report, describes most effectively the mission of Abitare In: meeting the needs of today's families, with a forward-looking vision that is committed to protecting future generations as well.
With our activities, we are committed to renovating abandoned building stock in our city and re-establishing its urban fabric, investing in projects of enormous value in terms of visual appeal,

the environment and social well-being. We also perform projects for urban regeneration, operating in the "affordable" segment, driven by our democratic view of living.
Efficiency, industrialisation and the creation of an identity brand are the foundations of a continuous and sustainable growth of our business model, which focuses on people and homes as an "aspirational" consumer product.
We have always been aware of the importance of adopting a proactive approach to sustainability, adopting policies and behaviours that go increasingly in that direction.
We are also aware that there are still countless opportunities for improvement, and we therefore undertake, in view of the coming years, to define new long-term strategies that can lead us to achieve increasingly challenging results in terms of sustainability.
"He always designs a thing considering it in its larger context: a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in the environment, the environment in the project of a city." – ELIEL SAARINEN –
We believe in the house as a place for living and in living as a space for emotions, sharing time together, serenity, well-being and beauty.
We know that each house can only be a "house in and of the city", a model for the creation of a new urban fabric that is more inclusive, liveable and sustainable.
We have built our sustainability project on these values, to create spaces designed for the needs and aspirations of the people and communities who live inside them.
Spaces designed to regenerate confidence in the future we would like to live in.

INTRODUCTION
22 projects under construction or marketing located in the areas of Milan with the highest growth rate
We were launched in 2015 by founding members Luigi Gozzini and Marco Grillo, with the aim of implementing an innovative project for the promotion of home culture in Milan.
We work on actions to renovate and regenerate areas occupied by abandoned buildings to give new value to the urban fabric of our city.
We design housing spaces inspired by new trends in the architecture of excellence, creating innovative, iconic and highly identitarian buildings, with a particular focus on the development of "green" areas
We create positive synergies between the supply of homes that are entirely tailor-made to the needs of each family and the economies of scale of an industrial production model, to ensure quality housing for an ever-increasing number of people.
We develop research and technologies to build our buildings according to the strictest standards of sustainability, environmental protection and residential well-being.

To define the areas and issues of our sustainability commitment, we have carried out a Materiality Analysis that identifies the environmental, social and economic impacts considered most relevant to the company and its internal and external stakeholders.
The Materiality Analysis was carried out according to a structured process and was initiated with a preliminary analysis of the existing internal documentation to identify the significant issues, considering the organisation's business model, sector and scope of activity.
In particular, the following activities were carried out:
The analysis involved the contact persons of the various corporate functions that have a supporting role in the preparation of this Sustainability Report. For each topic, each contact person had the task of expressing an opinion, based on their perception and sensitivity, in order to pinpoint the most significant issues for Abitare In and for its stakeholders.

ON PEOPLE SDGs APPENDIX NEVER TRIVIAL PROJECTS
The extremely positive demographic trend seen in recent years has transformed Milan into a market that offers good returns in the "first-time buyer" sector.
In this context we develop urban reconstruction and regeneration projects, demolishing disused or abandoned buildings and improving the fabric of the city by building new family homes with a high aspirational value and a strong visual and architectural impact, combining style, comfort and functionality.
Activity is mainly concentrated in the semi-central areas of the city, transforming disused complexes into innovative, advanced and elegant residential buildings within a regenerated urban fabric.
Our real estate projects have always been enormously successful, even in the years of the financial crisis. We have developed and fine-tuned our product and marketing strategy through strong branding and the use of state-of-the-art marketing and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools.
Innovation and sustainability are essential factors for maintaining leadership and competitiveness in the market. The demand for houses is increasingly oriented towards buildings with high energy performance, characterised by responsible management of natural resources and with particular attention to the well-being of the people who live there.
Our investment strategy goes beyond the individual building and looks at the city's
We believe that our uniqueness and our success also stem from the passion and objectives that inspire our business.
Our strategy is based on the sale of properties that are always "tailor-made" to the needs of the market and individual households. An industrialised production model allows us to optimise costs by offering high levels of customisation to an increasing number of customers.
Leading players in the so-called affordable segment of the market, our projects are inspired by the latest design and technology trends, using state-of-the-art materials, offering higher quality products that meet housing needs and with a focus on sustainability, psychophysical well-being and privacy.
To restore dignity to the city is to restore dignity to its people.
The centrality of people, and their expectations, needs and dreams, is of utmost importance and a founding element of all our past, present and future projects.
We pursue continuous and constant social progress by embracing the challenges that research and studies reveal every day.
The desire to improve our business processes, corporate structure and projects provides the greatest drive enabling us to be both forerunners and innovators.
We strongly support and promote the importance of preserving and improving the environment around us.
We constantly strive to convey a conscientious message to future generations, so that they may continue to consider the environment as a fundamental asset to be protected.

We firmly believe that an efficient corporate governance structure contributes to increasing the company's competitiveness and the sustainability of its development. In particular, the principles of Corporate Governance define the breakdown of functions and responsibilities, develop an adequate internal control system and guarantee the adoption of informed management choices through the effectiveness of the monitoring and management of business risks.
Powers within the company are well defined and balanced with well-defined managerial and operational groups that operate in three specific areas, guaranteeing synergy and the sharing of values.
The Company's organisational chart identifies different levels of responsibility:
The company adopts a "traditional system", which provides for the presence of a Board of Directors with administrative functions and a Board of Statutory Auditors with control functions over the administration, both appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting.

A shared ethical model
"To ensure fairness and transparency in the conduct of business and corporate activities, also from a prudential perspective, we decided in 2015 to adopt an Organisational, Management and Control Model envisaged under Italian Legislative Decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001."
The Decree contains the "Rules on administrative liability of legal entities, companies and associations, including those without legal personality", pursuant to Article 11 of Law no. 300 of 29 September 2000.
To manage the correct application of the Decree, we have drawn up a Code of Ethics and established a Supervisory Body, organised in the form of a Board, responsible for monitoring and, where necessary, issuing penalties.
Through specific contractual clauses, we ask all our partners and suppliers to:

"You do not take delight in a city's seven or seventy wonders, but in the answer it gives to a question you ask." – Italo Calvino –
We are aware of the urgent need to answer a question that arises from an increasingly shared sensitivity, from the will of a commitment that can no longer be deferred if we want to safeguard our planet.
A sensitivity that involves us, which we want to be active and responsible witnesses of so as to interpret home and urban spaces as places designed to meet the needs of an increasingly "small and nearby" world.
We know that taking care of the city and its inhabitants also, and above all, means creating architecture of the environment and for the environment, also as a form of respect for the local situation while relentlessly listening to the needs of people and families.

The globalcontext
"Climate change is a current and real threat which puts the future of the planet and the next generations at risk."
The increase in greenhouse gas emissions is set to cause an increase in global temperatures with consequent disastrous effects on the balance of the planet's ecosystem.
The international community of countries is now largely in agreement in the belief that these phenomena are attributable to human activities and has launched projects to limit their impact through decarbonisation programmes and towards the production of energy from renewable sources.
Initiatives such as the "United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change", the "Kyoto Protocol" and the European Green Deal indicate the emission reduction objectives and the path towards a new sustainable development model.
In this context, we are committed to contributing to a common project, through construction technologies and solutions designed to reduce the environmental impact of our buildings and improve the urban environment.
This commitment is a fundamental aspect of our sustainability model, as part of a more general concept of environment as an area of wellbeing for people and communities.
For us all this is Green Thinking: a new way of thinking about sustainability in architecture, to create a perfect synergy between technological solutions and development of innovative social, economic and cultural models.
In addition to the positive economic and social impact, urban redevelopment contributes significantly to improving the environment and protecting natural resources.
Our real estate initiatives are always integrated with urban regeneration projects that allow us to:
build new high-quality housing without increasing the built environ-
ment, but recovering abandoned areas and buildings;
lutant and hazardous substances (such as asbestos), avoiding hazardous emissions on the land, in the air and aquifers, also through strict disposal procedures;
create large green areas (previously cemented) by improving air quality and contributing directly to reducing emissions and carbon in the atmosphere thanks to the activity of photosynthesis performed by the plants.

We plan and develop areas outside our buildings with the utmost attention to sustainability aspects and respect for pre-existing habitats.
We are constantly developing research for the use of increasingly innovative technologies and materials that enable us to continuously improve performance in reducing the environmental impact of our buildings.
In our eyes, sustainable innovation is not only fostering innovation in a more sustainable way, but turning innovation into a cutting-edge instrument in our sustainable enterprise.
A strategic choice that allows us to build class A or superior buildings, with the highest levels of energy performance, the saving of natural resources and residential well-being.
All our projects involve the use of energy from renewable sources, with low entalpia photovoltaic and geothermal plants, solar thermal collectors and heat pump systems, for the production of heat, domestic hot water and electricity.
In addition to the maximum exploitation of natural light, low consumption LED lamps are provided for lighting in both common and private areas.
When constructing the buildings, sunlight exposure is assessed and screens are used to mitigate heat islands and reduce the overheating of parts exposed to the sun, thus reducing the consumption of energy required for air conditioning in the hot seasons.
The project design is based on the creation of compressed volumes, in which full and empty spaces are aligned to minimise thermal bridges and thus optimise energy efficiency both in summer and winter.
For the controlled ventilation of interior spaces - now necessary in increasingly thermal-insulated homes - simple mechanical systems with low electricity consumption are used, placed in the mono-blocks of windows, with excellent performance as heat exchangers between output and input air. This prevents the use of centralised systems and limits the risk of contagion from viruses and bacteria among the various housing units.

The general engineering plant and the system of equipment installed in individual homes are designed to ensure maximum water savings:
The orientation of external lighting of the common and private spaces is designed to minimise light pollution towards the sky. A phenomenon caused by the myriad of public and private light sources that alter natural night-time lighting, creating significant imbalances in the life cycle of some animal species (e.g. interference with migration flows) and humans (sleep disturbance, anxiety, etc.).
For the interiors of homes, finishing materials for the walls are used, capable of absorbing and neutralising the so-called VOCs, Volatile Organic Compounds. A source of pollution in interior spaces derived from volatile chemical compounds (e.g. benzene, methane, formaldehyde) found in many common products (paints, cleaning products, insecticides, tobacco smoke, etc.), as well as in some furnishings.

It is also possible to guarantee maximum reductions in indoor electromagnetic pollution.

"The purpose of construction is to make things hold together; of architecture to move us." - LE CORBUSIER -
The relationship between people, the environment and architecture is at the heart of our project thinking. Creating the perfect balance between these three players in a unique story is our mission. Well-being, peace of mind, safety, empathy, emotions are the words that inspire the choices of our customers and our ability to translate them into reality.
A humanistic approach to architecture that stems from the study of housing psychology before the design of its spaces, to discover the intimate relationships and sentiments that bind a person to their home.
An industrial and scalable business model allows us to offer our customers constructive services and solutions with the highest levels of quality, maintaining economic investment within the so-called affordable price range, accessible to a wide range of people.
All our projects are developed through a process that allows customers to play a leading role in their home customisation choices and to follow all the phases of the construction process.

INTRODUCTION
Conceived by Snaitech, the Leonardo Horse Project has involved 13 artists, called upon to reinterpret, based on their own personal styles and on a smaller scale, the idea of Leonardo's Horse, the monumental sculpture that welcomes visitors at the park entrance to the Milan Racecourse. A work created by Snaitech also with our support.
In April 2019, on the occasion of the 58th edition of the Salone Internazionale del Mobile (the international furniture trade fair), the German designer Markus Benesch created his interpretation of Leonardo's Horse for us, entitled "Courage". The project reproposes the vigorous movement of the horse thanks to the coloured ribbons that represent both its agility and creativity.
Together with the Castello Pozzi Private Collection in Milan, we have created the AbitareIn +Arte initiative, transforming our showroom into a permanent exhibition space displaying reproductions of works of art, including some by Elio Fiorucci and Ottavio Missoni.
Paintings, prints and sculptures have been contextualized within the space, with the aim of "bringing art closer to the citizens and daily life" to offer everyone the opportunity of enjoying art as a value, which enriches the spaces of modern living, improving the quality of life and the psychological and physical well-being of people.
The initiative was opened in November 2019, with the organisation of a presentation event to the public. For the occasion, the "Genius: the embrace" sculpture, created by the artist Antonio La Rosa, winner of the 2019 Leonardo Award, was put on display in the exhibition area of the Palazzo Naviglio project.
Since its opening, the initiative has continued to evolve and today the partnership envisages the installation of an artwork in each of the projects currently marketed, for the benefit of all buyers and the entire district.
"The starting point is the tension towards beauty, towards art, so that surprise, astonishment and unexpected are also part of the architectural work." - OSCAR NIEMEYER -
We are an active member of the community of a large city, an international reference point for fashion, design, architecture and a culture based on the values of beauty and art.
We take inspiration from this culture to create projects of iconic and unexpected urban regeneration, driven by the marvel of art that "moves the soul, touches the hearts of the spirit, opens the doors wide to profound and indelible emotional experiences".

On 25 September 2015, during the "Summit on Sustainable Development" among the leaders of the governments of the 193 member countries, the policy document for sustainable development was drawn up "Transforming our world. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", which determined the Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved by 2030.
The Sustainable Development Goals represent 17 global targets, split up into more than 160 specific targets, in an integrated vision of development, and are aimed not only at institutions but at a plurality of actors including businesses, representing a real call to action for everyone in relevant areas such as combating hunger and poverty, the production of clean energy, the protection and conservation of water resources, raising awareness of responsible and conscious consumption and promoting access to health and education.

Abitare In Maggiolina is the second project carried out by Abitare In, completed and delivered from 2020 onwards.
125 apartments distributed in the two buildings, Sky Tower and Maggiolina Gardens, originating from the complete regeneration of an abandoned and degraded area, which used to house the headquarters of the daily newspaper "Il Giorno".
In the Abitare In Maggiolina project, architecture and nature merge and liaise to create a unique backdrop in the heart of the Maggiolina neighbourhood, known for its natural beauty spots on the Martesana and for its orchards and splendid villas.
The icon of the project is the system of suspended white floors, of an evident formal clarity, which rise one after the other, leaving free and flexible the space between them. Each terrace becomes a supporting structure for nature to develop. A skilful alternation of hanging parapets gives a green tone to the outdoor private areas, transforming them into authentic high-rise gardens, irresistible features, corners of paradise to enjoy the Milan skyline from.
The materials used for the external cladding and the interiors also echo the effects and the forms of nature. All glazed components, from the generous openings to the parapets, soften the bulk of the two buildings - Sky Tower and Maggiolina Gardens - making them light and contemporary.
Linking the residential development to the city, an enormous park offering a completely immersive experience: lawned and paved areas, environments where a range of shrubbery creates a natural backdrop.

The design concept takes inspiration from the square, as a centralising element, a catalyst of social interaction and an accelerator of relationships, a space placed at the centre, metaphorically and physically, of the built complex.
In keeping with the style of the typical Milanese inner courtyards, Milano City Village has its own internal space, a place where one can rediscover the essence of the human dimension.
A courtyard that is a square, a meeting place, a place of passage but also a space to relax in, in which to rediscover a sense of communion with oneself and the community.
In Milano City Village the mosaic effect of the facade features ample, deep loggias, jutting out here and there like delightful suspended terraces. The contrast between solids and voids enlivens the facades and creates a new architectural landscape: an urban scenario that was not there before, mending the tear between the consolidated historical city and the new city in expansion.

A residential complex of three towers with evocative names: Gold, Diamond and Platinum.
Trilogy Towers hands back a precious fragment of the city to the community in the form of a brand new residential complex, with architectural and compositional features that give renewed vitality to the local area.
The project is based at Via Gallarate, in the north-west area of Milan, which has been known as an experimental district from the early 20th century.
Once home to important industries, the area now offers enormous regeneration opportunities. It is no coincidence that the area is on axis with the City Life - Tre Torri and Portello projects, two major urbanisation initiatives that have recently transformed the face of the city of Milan.
Trilogy Towers is unique for the meticulous design of the facades, finely chiselled as if by the skilled hands of a goldsmith. Stylish metallic detailing makes the surfaces precious and iridescent. Like a jewel.
The interplay of solids and voids, the juxtaposition of different materials and the different depths of the elements convey movement and dynamism to the facade.

Palazzo Naviglio steps into the Milanese panorama with a new approach to residential property design, introducing, in the historic Giambellino neighbourhood, a building with a very low environmental impact that promotes sustainability as a lifestyle in the broadest sense.
A contemporary building - two staggered structures with large loggias overlooking the city and the Naviglio canal. Light bamboo and metal slats enliven the facade, drawing sinuous profiles like branches.
Air, water, light, wood, green: the palette, in pastel tones, evokes the natural elements and narrates a deep and intimate relationship between man and nature, an expression of harmony and mutual wellbeing.
The bamboo wood covering, a material with a completely neutral ecological impact, creates a naturally warm and enveloping atmosphere.
From Nature for Nature.
Cutting-edge technology, very low emissions: from plaster that purifies the air, capturing pollutants, to the rainwater collection and organic waste management systems - expressions of a profound green philosophy.

Just a short walk from the underground station, Olimpia Garden is Abitare In's new complex of 138 apartments across three buildings (two of which already built), with a large private park and a number
of communal areas.
The complex consists of different types of apartments, all delivered "turnkey" including furniture packages designed specifically by Abitare In's Interior Designers to offer an efficient and stylish product.
The project is located in an urban context that is undergoing large-scale development and redevelopment, straddling the highway that will link the Olympic Village due to be built for the 2026 Winter Olympics and the new Milan Arena, Palaitalia, to be built in the Santa Giulia neighbourhood.

Abitare In has recently launched a new project in Milan on an area that has been clamouring to be developed for a long time now, between Piazzale Ohm and Via Richard and Via Faraday.
It will be an identity-making, modern and symbolic project, involving the creation of two buildings inspired by geometric architectural design and designer ceramics, for a continuous dialogue with the neighbourhood's history - past and future. Its name is Porta Naviglio Grande.
Abitare In makes its contribution to the city once again, to create additional added value for everyone, still maintaining the style that distinguishes it from the rest of the market. Because today more than ever, everyone needs beauty.
The Porta Naviglio Grande apartments have been designed according to criteria based on sustainability, functionality, comfort and design. All the apartments have been designed to respect the environment and save energy. The A1 energy class is a guarantee of reduced energy consumption due to the heating and cooling of indoor spaces. From photovoltaic panels that convert light into electricity, to large outdoor spaces to appreciate the benefits of fresh air and the magnificent roof that turns into a roof garden where you can see an urban garden bloom. But that's not all, the project hosts several services (Smart Work – Bike Lab – Delivery Room) that simplify people's days, by meeting various daily requirements.

The Units (https://theunits.it/) is a residential complex overlooking Piazzale Accursio, a Milan area with
a dynamic, fresh and innovative personality.
The proximity of Piazza Portello and City Life offers numerous possibilities for entertainment, places of interest and catering. In fact, the area is rich in contemporary architecture, shops and sculptures to discover just as an open-air museum.
Each apartment has an external private area to enjoy the open air and be in contact with nature, while remaining in one's home space. In addition, you can enjoy an exclusive view of the panoramic Rooftop Garden which offers moments of relaxation surrounded by green tubs containing trees and shrubs.
This natural dimension converses harmoniously with innovative and high-tech materials. The combined effect of stone and wood in the structure goes perfectly with the steel and glass of the stairwell structure in a composition that allows a mix of warm and natural nuances with high-tech transparency and style, providing the exclusive 12 apartments with a unique combination of tradition and innovation.
The daily needs of residents will be met by interiors designed for maximum comfort and thanks to smart systems that help to manage home expenses, times and functions. The revolutionary home automation system, Smart LivingNow by Bticino, makes it easy to control consumption and costs. The Twix material consists of regenerated hard woods, thus with a zero impact on deforestation; the Controlled Mechanical Ventilation system among the many advantages also ensures a change of air and the filtering out of bacteria and dusts.

With a green area of 3,613 square metres and a total of 93 apartments, Lambrate Twin Palace (https:// lambratetwinpalace.com/) provides space for creative regeneration within the urban context of Ventura Lambrate. It includes two buildings, Oro, overlooking Via Sbodio, and Ambra, overlooking Via Massimiano. The choice of exposure is also the result of the search for balance with nature: you can take real advantage of the natural light and the most exposed façades have parapets and brise-soleils that create a comfortable and elegant filter that increases shade and privacy.
The reception area will include a tribute to the artist Giampaolo Talani, keen on themes such as travel, movement and dreams. All the apartments have an external, yet reserved area, to enjoy the open air and a unique landscape view. The energy class A1 and superior is obtained thanks to the use of environmentally friendly technical and plant solutions: the heat of the Sun is absorbed and converted into clean electricity. The aim is to bring people closer to nature, but also to art and beauty.
In addition to art, this also means talking about community: the project has a porticoed courtyard that frames a suitably equipped green oasis, with aromatic plants, shrubs and small trees, offering a perfect natural scenario for relaxing moments.
In an area characterised by the joint presence of historical places, on one side, and innovative spaces dedicated to urban regeneration, on the other, Abitare In aims to enhance this duality, taking advantage of the possibilities offered by the present while looking forward towards future opportunities.

INTRODUCTION
Palazzo Sintesy is the new project in the PRIME EDITION series by Abitare In that rises in Milan Lambrate, an area engaged in urban transformation thanks to innovative redevelopment projects focused on creating and preserving green areas and spaces intended for socialisation. The district has the Parco Lambro, so called because it was here that Innocenti, the manufacturer of the famous Lambretta, had its headquarters. The area is rich in both environmental and cultural stimuli thanks to its proximity to City Life, an area where innovation reigns, and to Ortica, a historic district that tells the story of Milan through great wall paintings.
The combination of simple, marked concept shapes with the pale, pure colours of the façade allows the structure to fit in perfectly with the surrounding context. The white plaster is in perfect contrast with the cladding of the base in Ceppo di Grè, a typical material used in Milan.
The apartments on the ground floor enjoy a private garden for their moments of relaxation. The balconies allow natural light to come in and embrace the rooms, lavishing a unique, warm atmosphere. There is also a condominium garden, completing the building. The interiors feature an all-Italian style: here visual appeal and everyday life are in perfect harmony.
The project was also designed with the aim of preserving the natural assets. In fact, there are spaces dedicated to the collection of rainwater, energy class A1, which allows residents to save on costs and an integrated air system that regulates heating and cooling in order to have optimum temperatures at all times. In addition to this many facilities, there is also a video surveillance and anti-intrusion service.
It is a project where aesthetics, safety, comfort and sustainability are in perfect harmony.
