2.5. Safeguarding fundamental rights
The fight against child labour
As set out in the Code of Ethics and in the Policy for Social Accountability, the Ratti Group is committed to opposing any possible situation involving exploitation in the workplace.
As a guarantee of their respect for human rights, both Ratti SpA and Creomoda are SA8000 certified. In its recruitment policies, the Group also specifies its requirements regarding minimum age of employees, in line with national regulations (18 years in Ratti SpA and in Textrom Srl, 16 years in Creomoda Sarl) for all companies.
When interviews are conducted with minors below the age of 18, there is a specific procedure in place to assess the educational circumstances of the minor, so that the working commitment
is not incompatible with the former, and
to verify and monitor compliance with the conditions agreed when the contract is signed. The verification of any risks inherent to non- compliance with respect for human rights is carried out periodically, during the process of updating SA8000 certification.
During 2018 Ratti SpA took part in the project “Healthy work”, aimed at implementing measures to support both male and female employees involved in providing care and assistance to minor children or relatives who have disabilities or are over 65.
The initiative was carried out by making financial contributions to Ratti SpA’s employees to reimburse costs incurred for the purchase of:
• Additional services for minors (kindergartens, educational and recreation services during the daytime, in the summer or during the school holidays);
• Services for providing care and assistance to minor children and/ or disabled or elderly relatives.
The project, financed by the Lombardy region and coordinated by the Consorzio Servizi Sociali dell’Olgiatese (Social Services Consortium of the Olgiatese), seeks to respond to the needs of
male and female workers who are trying to balance their working lives and the needs of their children or the elderly (their parents or other relatives). It offers them support
in their search for appropriate solutions.
These are two needs that are having an increasing impact on today’s society, given that there is less support available from public welfare.
At November 2018 payments had been made to eight employees for a total amount of €7,337.00 .
