Ethical work
The suppliers we rely on are an extension of our team, whom we visit weekly.
We share the same principles and ethical values, as evidenced by the Code of Conduct they sign. This document declares their commitment to the five key principles of the International Labor Organization (ILO).
Social Sustainability
In 2022 we started certifying our supply chain in collaboration with the auditing company Bureau Veritas, to be certain of the working conditions and compliance of our suppliers with the principles of social sustainability, in the following areas:
- Work environment (health and safety)
- Work hours
- Remuneration
- Environment
- Transparency in the supply chain
- Regulatory compliance
- Forced labor and child labor
Approximately 80% of our first and second level suppliers were found to be fully compliant, in the rest of the cases we identified solutions together with them to correct the problems.
Responsible Purchasing
We are committed every day to adopting responsible purchasing practices towards all suppliers who are part of our circular supply chain.
Our reference is a common model (Common Framework for Responsible Purchasing Practices), defined by a group of multi-stakeholder initiatives with the aim of reducing negative impacts on workers in production chains and ensuring transparency of the supply chain.
In this model, responsible purchasing practices are grouped into five principles:
- Integration and reporting;
- Equal partnership;
- Production planning;
- Fair payment terms;
- Sustainable costs.
