The Italian Constitution states in Article 41:
“The private economic activity is free.
It must be performed in accordance with social utility and it must not cause any harm to human safety, freedom, and dignity.
The law determines programs and controls for the coordination and the organization of public and private economic activity towards social purposes.”
CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), means that any company should behave in an ethic and respectful manner, that goes beyond the mere respect of the laws and regulations of the countries in which it operates. It means that a company has the duty to operate with consideration of the external and internal social and environmental situations, following a code of conduct and good practices socially accepted.
CSR has two dimensions:
Internal: it refers to the management of human resources, safety on the workplace, company’s organization, natural resources management and the effects of business activities on the environment;
External: it refers to the local community impact, business partners relationships, suppliers and buyers, customers and clients, human rights respect in the entire supply chain activities, and the worldwide considerations regarding the environment and the exploitation of natural resources.
Despite our small dimension, we believe in and practice the respect of rating agencies recommendations and parameters for what concern governance and compliance: “Standard Ethics” [http://www.standardethics.eu] based in Brussels and London. We take an active role in the limitation of useless waste of energy, as well as using as much as possible recycled products. A specific attention is given to the “personal care” aspect: our staff enjoys adequate economic treatment agreed upon together, and the freedom to operate in full responsibility for what concern their duties and tasks.
