 CH. 2 | THE PASSION OF SAVOIR-FAIRE
The passion of savoir-faire
The value of people
Kahlil Gibran asserted that “the value of a man is measured by the things he creates”. This is the mantra of an organisation such as the Ratti Group, born out of the intuition of a visionary entrepreneur and developed through the power of creativity and a love of beauty.
A group in which people, as custodians of an ancient wisdom and timeless craftsman- ship, represent a value that must be safeguarded, and are undeniably protagonists in the art of savoir-faire. It is precisely this art of savoir-faire that is the distinctive feature of all the Group’s professionals, at any level.
This is an environment which requires particular dedication and is nourished at source by the search for and development of talented professionals, who come from national and international schools and universities of design and fashion.
As it sets out in its Code of Ethics, the Ratti Group is committed to developing its em- ployees’ expertise, as well as enhancing their capabilities and potential, so that they can achieve complete fulfilment in the achievement of their objectives.
The Group also o ers equal opportunities in terms of work and professional development to all its employees based on professional qualifications and performance, without any discrimination, given that the functions select, hire and manage employees exclusively on the basis of expertise and merit.
