The value of people
Walt Disney said: “You can design, create and build the most beautiful place in the world, but you need people to make the dream come true”.
Starting from this quote, there are many parallels with the visionary philosophy of Antonio Ratti: the idea of a company created out of the force of creativity and a search for beauty in which people and their art represent, even today, a value that should be protected, simply because they are the “healthy transmitters” of an ancient wisdom and a skill that is indisputable.
It is this nexus between people and their art that makes the Ratti Group unique in the region. This is a form of human capital which is growing continuously and is nourished at source by
the search for and development of talented professionals, who come from the most prestigious national and international schools and universities of design and fashion.
This human capital finds its maximum protection in the Code of Ethics. Indeed, the Ratti Group
RATTI DOMUS
is committed to enhancing its employees, encouraging them to develop their expertise and to grow professionally, in order to guarantee the satisfaction and wellbeing of those working on the production sites.
In addition, the Code of Ethics provides the
basis for ensuring there are equal opportunities in terms of work and professional development for all its employees. This is done by enhancing their professional qualifications and performance, without any discrimination, given that the functions select, hire and manage employees exclusively on the basis of expertise and merit.
