Milestones
Investment case
The group has a diversified global presence, benefitting from long-term contracts with airports and other transport infrastructure. This ensures visible and predictable cash flows, reducing exposure to economic cycles and giving the group financial stability. Avolta also benefits from a captive customer base, consisting of passengers using airports, who guarantee stable, recurring demand. It is also well-positioned to exploit long-term structural trends, such as growth in passenger traffic, the expansion of the middle class in emerging markets and the progressive digitalization of the travel retail experience.
Approach to ESG
Avolta: catalysing a sustainable impact
To continue along its sustainability pathway, Avolta is committed to generating a positive, lasting impact in the travel retail and F&B sector, at the same time contributing to social wellbeing and environmental protection. This commitment translates into concrete initiatives in four strategic areas, identified through an in-depth double materiality assessment:
- Creation of sustainable travel experiences, improving the environmental and social impact throughout the passenger journey;
- Protection and respect for the planet by reducing the ecological footprint of its activities;
- Development of people, promoting inclusion, wellbeing and career growth;
- Active involvement of local communities, helping to build strong relations and shared initiatives with the areas in which it operates.
