In 2021, SDA Bocconi monitored the performance of <strong>more than 900,000 companies<\/strong>; in the first phase of analysis, the award&#8217;s organizing committee selected 600 and then identified the 15 finalist companies in the three identified size categories (small, medium and large companies). <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Being among the finalists for this award once again confirms to us how important it is for a company to be organized to <strong>innovate in a sustainable way<\/strong> and with a<strong> focus on the relationship<\/strong> with all stakeholders,&#8221; said <strong>Fabio Ceccarani<\/strong>, CEO of Simonelli Group. &#8220;The Simonelli Group experience in the<strong>coffee industry<\/strong>, in fact, is fundamentally based on three pillars that concern product, that is, an offer of <strong>innovative solutions<\/strong> able to improve the<strong>in-cup experience<\/strong> of its customers in a sustainable way; platforms, that is, the use of <strong>connected machines and digital technologies<\/strong> to overcome geographic boundaries and to improve service and <strong>knowledge about coffee<\/strong>; and, finally, <strong>proximity<\/strong>, that is, the involvement of partners in innovation processes able to generate greater value and open up new insights.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This operating model and our approach to the market,&#8221; Ceccarani continues, &#8220;have allowed us to <strong>grow very rapidly<\/strong> over the past 10 years in terms of both turnover and EBITDA. In 2020, like many companies, we experienced a contraction in our turnover, but right in the middle of the pandemic we decided to <strong>increase our investments in<\/strong> order to accelerate our <strong>digital plans<\/strong>.

In total, SDA Bocconi awarded 5 prizes, 3 of which were in the size category (Small, Medium and Large Company), one to the best company in the sample regardless of size, and, finally, a fifth prize to the company that distinguished itself on the trend theme of the year: <strong>Upskilling and to Talent Development.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Companies that received the Best Performance Award include TARGA TELEMATICS S.P.A, SIFI S.P.A and I.CO.P.
