\"\"A fingerprint is a uniquely human mark.\u00a0It sets each of us apart and lets us leave our imprint on the world, which is why it’s the perfect image for how we think about artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

AI is a remarkable accelerator, but people stay in the driving seat, choosing the direction and deciding when to put their foot down. And when technology handles the repetitive, low-value tasks that eat up our time, we can make more room for what algorithms can’t do: creating, making decisions and building relationships.<\/p>\n

This is why the fingerprint is the guiding image for our new .<\/span>People<\/strong>, the Impact Assessment Report in which, as a Benefit Corporation and B Corp\u2122, we measure the economic, social and environmental impact we created in 2025.<\/p>\n

We discussed it with Tania Zanatta<\/strong>, Aton\u2019s CFO and Impact Manager.<\/p>\n

.<\/span>People: a year that left its mark. Why?<\/h2>\n

In a cautious market environment, we chose to invest in people, spaces, technology and governance<\/strong>. Today\u2019s results confirm that the decisions we made a year ago have had a positive impact on both our financial performance and operational efficiency, reinforcing something I have always believed: financial strength and social and environmental impact are not separate paths. They are integral parts of the same journey.<\/p>\n

Governance: how does it guide our growth transparently and in line with our values?<\/h2>\n

Innovation is like a train in motion, constantly moving forward, and in a tech company like Aton it shapes strategic and organisational decisions. As a Benefit Corporation and B Corp\u2122, we want to manage this evolution responsibly and follow a clear direction. That is why we voluntarily adopted the Organisational Model 231 and Code of Ethics<\/strong><\/a>, translating the principles of responsibility, legality and transparency that have always guided us into clear behaviours and compliant practices, supported by recognised frameworks.This journey has led us to achieve three stars in Italy\u2019s Legality Rating, the highest score awarded by the Italian Competition Authority.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk about people: 50.2% women, 19 nationalities, 77% Millennials and Gen Z. What do these figures tell us?<\/h2>\n

They describe a young, international company with a female presence well above the average for the ICT sector.
\nOur gender equality certification, achieved in 2025 with an average gender pay gap of less than 5%, reflects our commitment to creating a fair and inclusive workplace where every atonpeople can grow, be heard and be recognised for the value they bring.
\nThis is also confirmed by our Great Place To Work\u00ae certification, renewed for the sixth year, with 90% of atonpeople<\/strong> saying that Aton is an excellent place to work.<\/p>\n

Technology: how does AI improve the quality of our work and our impact on customers?<\/h2>\n

AI has become an ally for all our teams, from Business Continuity, where 16 AI agents<\/strong> support the work of 90 atonpeople<\/strong>, to the Software Factory and Delivery teams.
\nHere, software testing time has been reduced by 40%<\/strong> and documentation drafting time by 70%<\/strong>, allowing people to focus more on customer relationships and their own professional growth.<\/p>\n

How do our Research & Development activities reflect our commitment to sustainable innovation?<\/h2>\n

In 2025, we invested 8.4% of our revenue in R&D, 30% more than in 2024<\/strong>. This represents more than 6,000 working days<\/strong> dedicated to integrating AI into our .one platform across three application areas with strong potential to improve our customers\u2019 sustainability:<\/p>\n
