Gazidis outlines Milan’s ‘aim’ regarding sustainability: “A strong, universal set of values”

AC Milan CEO Ivan Gazidis has once again preached the importance of the Rossoneri being a sustainable club who are in a virtuous cycle.

Through a statement on the official website, Milan presented their ‘AC Milan for All’ 2020-21 sustainability report which outlines the practices and principles of the club, as well as explaining the initiatives and activities undertaken.

The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on every football club but it certainly forced the Rossoneri into emergency action in order to mitigate the effects that the public health crisis had on its stakeholders.

That is why the report functions as Milan’s way of transparently communicating their plans for sustainability, from an economic and social awareness point of view. The current edition, for the first time ever, has been given its own dedicated section on the website.

“Our aim, which is now codified with the publishing of the sustainability report, is to create a constructive environment, in which our investments and initiatives can improve the performance of the team, which will then generate more income that can be invested back into performances, and so on,” said CEO Ivan Gazidis.

“This process must be upheld by a strong, universal set of values, which go beyond what happens on the pitch and made the Rossoneri community proud of their Club.”

Martino Roghi, CSR & Sustainability Manager at Milan, added: “We’re proud to present this report to our stakeholders. It is not only an efficient method to communicate the state of our Club in full detail, but also a vital asset to make the Club even more sustainably in the future, as we take an introspective look year after year with analysis and examine the processes and activities, which began eight years ago now.”
