Certifications
SA 8000, respect for people has been certified
In October 2015 Ratti S.p.A. obtained certification in accordance with the standard SA 8000:2014 Social Accountability, with the aim of attesting that the corporate system con- forms with the principles of social responsibility (freedom of association, the rejection of forced labour, health and safety in the workplace, improved attention to the needs of all inte- rested parties, etc.) In December 2016 the same certification SA 8000:2014 Social Accoun- tability was also obtained by the Group’s Tunisian subsidiary, Creomoda S.a.r.l. The above was a significant result in terms of social responsibility, considering the fact that SA 8000 certification is one of the international reference standards for managing social responsibility and rights in the workplace, based on ILO (International Labour Organization) conventions, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child. It is the main international standard suitable for companies of any size or sector, and sets out the relevant requirements, for all parties involved, that guarantee the appropri- ate management of social responsibility in the company.
The main benefits for Ratti deriving from SA 8000 certification include:
Improved confidence of compliance with regulations in force with regard to labour contracts;
Better involvement and motivation of employees;
An improved corporate image;
