Our Sustainability Report
Since 2019, this report has marked our progress on the long path of social responsibility. As a tool supporting our strong drive towards an honorable, sustainable modus operandi. The report 1) encapsulates the primary results achieved over the year in terms of economic, social, and environmental sustainability, and 2) defines new challenging objectives and KPIs on which to focus our future efforts.
In this way, our actions respect the entire company, all parties involved in our production process, and our shared planet.
Our Code of Ethics
Approved in April 2010 by the Members Assembly and updated in December 2020, this code aims to define the values we recognize, accept, share, and maintain as fundamental. Our Code of Ethics guides the actions of all those who work with us. It is the foundation of our business approach, ensuring transparent, correct management of our human and commercial relationships.
