Corporate Social Responsibility

Just like other big Italian and international groups and corporations, Felsineo S.p.A. has also drawn up a Code of Ethics laying down the values that the company recognizes, accepts and shares at all levels and in all areas of the business.

The principles and provisions set forth in the aforementioned Code of Ethics are examples of general obligations regarding due diligence, proper conduct and fairness that define acceptable performance and conduct in the workplace.

The principles and provisions of the Code of Ethics are binding for executive management and all employees of Felsineo S.p.A.

The Felsineo Code of Ethics was approved by the Felsineo S.p.A Board of Directors. Any amendments and/or additions to this code will be approved by the relative Board of Directors and distributed to concerned parties without delay.

Following the enforcement of Legislative Decree No. 231 of 8 June 2001 introducing the concept of the "administrative responsibility" of corporations into our legal system for the first time, Felsineo brought its own organisational, management and control model into line with the provisions of the aforementioned decree as part of an ongoing process to manage organisational activities efficiently, correctly and fairly.

This process of adaptation was pursued bearing in mind the provisions of Leg. Decree No. 231/01.

The resultant Organisation, Management and Control model, as required under Leg. Decree No. 231/01, was approved by the Felsineo S.p.A. Board of Directors on 30 April 2009.

Project to include disadvantaged categories in for-profit companies.

Felsineo S.p.A. has been working for many years with local authorities (Bologna Provincial Council, local health boards...) and local associations and cooperatives (CSAPSA, OPIMM, and many others) in order to help find occupations for people deemed to have disadvantages which in some cases impede their deployment in any context other than a non-profit one.

Our work with CSAPSA (Centre for the Study and Analysis of Applied Psychology and Sociology) - whose current president Leonardo Callegari is a constant source of inspiration in this particular field and also on the corporate environment and the rules existing within it - and with AiLeS (Association to promote social and occupational inclusion) has lead in this specific case to an attempt to make the company's work "visible". Indeed, the company is trying to address the weakest link in the chain, individuals who would be the first to leave or break down when under pressure.

Felsineo S.p.A. tries to make sure these issues are never overlooked: we do this through our health and safety policies, by maintaining an ongoing relationship with individuals working in the socio-cultural environment and by trying to bridge any gaps that legislation inevitably leaves to families and to individual entities in society, including also corporations.

The company's unrequested (and much-appreciated for this) responsible logo is a step, a signal, and an incentive for anyone that may never have seen business organisations as an employment option, and a chance to make sure that our company can increase its numbers in this direction. The dissemination of a responsible culture is the ultimate goal in a process that considers human resources in their entirety, recognizing that not all have the same energy, strength and representation.
