- Has established an Ethics Committee, mostly composed of independent members, who express their opinions on the ethical consistency of the company’s strategic choices;
- Has adhered to the 10 Principles of the Global Compact, the UN organisation which promotes ethical company management (human rights, working conditions, environment);
- Has been awarded the SA 8000 certification, an international standard taking inspiration from ILO principles (International Labour Organization) which acknowledges the ethical and social management of a company’s human resources;
- Maintains a Communication System for the management of notices regarding the application of the SA8000 standard, to promote communication between the parties concerned
