Our approach

We are a publishing house with more than 100 years of history. We have always carried out our publishing work with passion, an ability to champion new tastes and trends, and a strong desire to innovate.

Throughout its life, Mondadori has been a place of opportunities for reading and development, entertainment and enrichment; an open, welcoming and informal home with room for everyone; a home that embraces many different approaches to culture, without discrimination or prejudice.

Our constant attention to stakeholders began before the concept of sustainability existed: the strong bond between the publishing house and its authors and readers, employees and partners, shareholders, suppliers and civil society has guided our journey and driven the Group’s development.

We therefore feel we have a duty to take responsibility not only for our financial results but also for the social and environmental impacts of our business activities.

We want to keep on growing, because we have a responsibility towards a lot of people – the people who invest in us and expect a return on their investment; the people who work for us and want to grow with us; the people who look to us as customers for products and services of excellence, innovation, and value.

Our business model revolves around our core operations – books, retail, and magazines, as identified through the Mondadori Group transformation process from 2013 to 2015.

Our real and financial capital is what makes the Group’s operations possible, including financial resources, raw materials, infrastructure, and finished goods. Just as essential, however, is our intangible capital, both inside and outside the organisation. Our intangible capital includes:

_social and relational capital – all the relationships the Mondadori Group has built, and which it works to maintain and expand, through its business activities;

_intellectual capital – all the intangible, yet essential, assets that go into the creation of our products and services, including ideas and projects, copyright, our brands, and the reputation we have built over the years;

_human capital – the skills, abilities, and the experience of our people.

Alongside the products and services we provide, our business activities have an impact on the world outside our organisation. Those impacts may be:

_potentially negative, such as the emissions produced by the consumption and transformation of raw materials, or

_potentially positive, such as the value we distribute to our various stakeholders, but also intangible in nature, such as the satisfaction of our customers and of our human resources.
