The sustainability consultancy and Benefit Corporation recognized by La Repubblica Affari & Finanza and ITQF for an average annual growth rate of 25%, driven by a strong market position and a team that has doubled in size.

Amapola has been included among Italy’s “Growth Champions 2026”, the annual ranking compiled by La Repubblica Affari & Finanza in collaboration with the German Institute for Quality and Finance (ITQF). The award highlights Italian companies that recorded the most significant revenue growth between 2021 and 2024.
Amapola was selected following an in-depth screening of more than 60,000 companies, based on official data — including financial statements — to certify economic solidity and growth performance.

A recognition that strengthens Amapola’s position in the sustainability market

Amapola ranks among the top 636 companies on the list, including 22 operating in the consulting sector. The recognition confirms the company’s solid growth path and its ability to adapt to market challenges. Founded in 2009 and a Benefit Corporation since 2021, Amapola has consistently focused on sustainability, anticipating its evolution with innovative solutions and expanding expertise.

This milestone reflects a phase of strong expansion and consolidation: over the past four years, the company’s revenue has increased by 95%, with an average annual growth rate of 25%, a team that has doubled in size, and multiple certifications achieved (Quality Management, Gender Equality, EcoVadis Silver Medal).
In 2025, Amapola also launched its first business network with the partners of 3i Efficientamento Energetico, giving rise to A3i, an integrated hub of expertise spanning sustainability, innovation, compliance, communication, and stakeholder engagement.

Sustainability as a driver of competitiveness

Luca Valpreda, Founder and Managing Partner of Amapola, commented:

“This recognition is the result of a journey that began many years ago, when sustainability was still a marginal topic in the business landscape.
Being included among the ‘Growth Champions 2026’ not only confirms the strength of our business model but also our ability to stay true to the values that have always been the driving force behind our growth.
Our commitment to sustainability has been constant, and today more than ever, it is an integral part of every decision and project we undertake.”
