00:04 Today we present here in Terni, which is the headquarters of this new company,
00:12 the industrial plan that we have developed with the KPMG consulting firm.
00:17 An industrial plan that follows the operation concluded on 1 January,
00:25 a series of acquisitions and partnerships that serve to grow in a short time.
00:33 The sector is experiencing a time of great difficulty due to inflation.
00:37 Before there was still the Covid with high costs.
00:41 So, while the public decision-maker takes those decisions,
00:49 I think of the price review, which would be a due act,
00:54 we are organizing ourselves on the supply side.
00:56 We don't want to be left with our hands full, so we want to grow in size.
01:00 We already have all the contractual conditions,
01:03 because we are a group of 200 million in invoices, 4,000 employees and 40 million in expenses.
01:10 The third private Italian group.
01:12 In view of the challenges we face, we want to put the concept of sustainability on the ground.
01:19 Sustainability is environmental, social and economic.
01:24 These three legs must stick together.
01:28 We are now doing public services,
01:32 we make meals for fragile subjects, children, sick people, elderly people.
01:38 School meals, like those in hospitals, must be healthy, safe and competitive.
01:48 We want to put them on the ground.
01:49 For example, we have an organization on food waste,
01:52 with the help of digitalization, which must eliminate food waste.
01:58 Because, in addition to an economic problem,
02:00 food waste creates a big problem of ethical and value order.
02:05 We are authentic, because we want to be faithful to the positive values of our country.
02:11 We are present throughout the national territory already today,
02:14 and we also have an important presence in Morocco.
02:16 So, the aspect of internationalization is also an aspect that we intend to take care of.
02:21 Let's go step by step.
02:23 Now we have to consolidate these results,
02:26 but I say, so far, that we are evaluating other acquisitions of other companies,
02:31 because we have put in place a virtuous mechanism, in my opinion,
02:36 which is in other regions of Italy.
02:38 So, let's hope, step by step, that the project becomes a reality.
02:43 This will require a lot of work, but I'm very confident because we have a great team.
