In integration to its own Policy for the supplemented Management System (Quality, Environment, Security), Tecnogomma International, intends to consider the social dimension of the enterprise, underlining the value of the own human patrimony in the light of the institutional, economic, political and social contest, where it operates.
The Managing Director, recognizing the importance of that which is indicated above, commits itself, in order that the staff, the management, the suppliers, the external collaborators, respect the principals of the Social Responsibility established by the SA8000:2008 Norm to which this code inspires itself.
Thus Tecnogomma International commits itself to operate in respect of the current applicable national normative; it further commits itself to keep in due consideration the contents of the conventions and international recommendations, including the resolutions of the Organisms like ILO (International Labour Organization) and ONU (United Nations Organization). In this manner it intends to create a working environment characterized by RESPONSIBLENESS, of RECIPROCAL TRUST and RECIPROCAL RESPECT, as well as the VALORIZATION of the personality and the diversity of the individuals, where each person feels responsible of the performance and reputation of the company.
Thus it is important that the relation between colleagues and the different hierarchical levels occurs with LOYALTY AND CORRECTNESS in reciprocal respect of the rights and liberty of the persons; EVERYBODY must collaborate to maintain a climate of reciprocal respect of the dignity, honour and reputation of each individual: this principal is to be understood as extended to the interpersonal relations between the operative branches and the various departments.
Tecnogomma International DISAPPROVES behaviours which are not in accordance with the principal of RESPECT OF THE PERSON, by whoever brings them about, towards whoever these are directed, independently of the reasons;
The Responsibles must reply promptly and professionally and every DOUBT or PROBLEM which may be raised by their collaborators and they are furthermore invited to ask for assistance whenever it be necessary; they must demonstrate an EXEMPLARY BEHAVIOUR which can be of example to their collaborators.
