The international standards we start from

In 2002 we subscribed to the Global Compact's principles, launched in 2000 by ONU to promote the protection of the environment, respect for human rights and working standards, and anti-corruption practices.

The System of Sustainability Management also takes into account the principal reference regulations and international standards:

• the Directives, Recommendations and Communications of the European Commission
  

• the OCSE guidelines directed at multinational enterprises
  

• the principles of AccountAbility for Assurance and Stakeholder Engagement
  

• the  ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 certificates governing  Quality and Environmental Management Systems
  

• the principles of the International Labour Organization (ILO) on respecting the fundamental rights of workers
  

• the Social AccountAbility 8000 standard (SA8000), aimed at promoting respect for human rights and working conditions by companies and their supply chain
