▪ Accommodation for Ukrainian refugees: VARD has offered the use of its facilities at Tulcea shipyard in Romania to accommodate up to 250 Ukrainian refugees 

During the Board meeting Giuseppe Bono, Chief Executive Officer of Fincantieri, said: “The first quarter results, alike the full year, highlight a healthy company from a financial and economic standpoint, with a robust backlog that ensures a good visibility for the next few years. Such backlog will be developed in a time of exceptional complexity, affected by a relentless rise in commodity prices throughout a deeply concerning geopolitical crisis. The thorough risk management strategy the company always adopted, along with the incessant search for efficiencies mitigate such external impacts, leading to positive results also in the future". 

Bono concluded: “I am stepping down after twenty years, having proudly led the Group to a global leadership position across the sectors in which it operates together with a truly unparalleled team. My heartfelt thanks goes to them, to Fincantieri’s entire workforce and to the thousands companies involved in the supply chain, for their commitment and dedication in pursuing and achieving our challenging targets. To my successors I wish the best of luck, as I fully understand the responsibilities they are about to embrace".
