Authos
Authos S.p.A. has been an official Ford dealer for Turin and its province for over 60 years. The company covers the full range of automotive services: from the sale of new and used cars and commercial vehicles to the supply of original spare parts, from short and long-term rental to maintenance and repair. A company deeply rooted in the Piedmontese territory, which has chosen to approach the sustainability transition with the same attention to quality and customer care that has guided its growth over time.
The context
Authos has always integrated a particular focus on environmental impacts, employee wellbeing and customer safety into its corporate policy. Over the years, the company had activated several initiatives in this direction — but what was missing was a tool capable of systematically measuring the results achieved, identifying priorities for improvement and translating its commitment into a structured strategy that could be communicated externally.
The automotive sector, moreover, is at the centre of a profound transformation: from the shift towards electric mobility to growing stakeholder expectations on ESG matters, the most forward-thinking dealerships are redefining their role also in terms of environmental and social responsibility.
The objectives
To assess the company's ESG positioning against the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, define an integrated sustainability strategy across the three pillars — environmental, social and economic — and report annually on performance through a Sustainability Report compliant with GRI Standards.
Circularity's contribution
Circularity accompanied Authos through a structured process articulated in two complementary phases.
Sustainability Assessment
The starting point was an in-depth assessment of Authos' sustainability positioning, conducted through Circularity's Sustainability Assessment tool. The process involved completing a questionnaire evaluating corporate performance against each SDG of the 2030 Agenda, selecting key information and collecting the documentation required to validate the responses. The output provided the company with a clear picture of its current sustainability level, accompanied by an improvement plan with future objectives and monitoring indicators.
Three-year Sustainability Strategic Plan and Sustainability Report
Building on the assessment findings, Circularity supported Authos in defining a three-year Sustainability Strategic Plan: an operational document that translates commitments into concrete, measurable actions aligned with the UN SDGs and integrated into the company's business model. To complete the process, a Sustainability Report is produced each year according to GRI Standards — the official instrument through which Authos reports on its economic, social and environmental performance and communicates it to all stakeholders.
The results
The collaboration with Circularity has equipped Authos with a comprehensive system for measuring, planning and communicating its sustainability. The company now has a structured assessment of its ESG performance across all SDGs, a three-year plan with concrete actions and monitoring indicators, and an annual Sustainability Report that ensures transparency and continuity in reporting. A journey that transforms sustainability from intention into measurable practice — and from measurable practice into competitive advantage in the automotive market.
