A good reputation is an
essential immaterial resource. Awareness of the social and environmental
impacts of the Company's activities, together with the importance of a
cooperative approach with stakeholders, drive Alcooltest Marketing Italy's
activities both in private and public sector (Institutional, industrial
medicine, pharmaceutical).
Indeed,
the company aims at developing a
relationship based on trust with all individuals whose interests are
affected by its activities, always maintaining an ethical behavior. This is why
Alcooltest's Corporate Governance is based on a system of rules of conduct for its own internal organization and
for relations with third parties.
A set of rules that are in
line with standards required by the
market and by the domestic and international regulatory framework.
Moreover, when managing the economic, social and environmental parameters that
characterize its Corporate Social Responsibility, Alcooltest Marketing Italy
applies the same commitment and the same methods used for business governance.
In
order to ensure this commitment, every year the Company defines its objectives
and priorities related to Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR), in accordance with the strategic plans
of the Company.
The Code of Ethics is the pillar of CSR, and since 2003, it summarizes Alcooltest
Marketing Italy's commitments and responsibilities in the conduct of its
affairs by regulating and harmonizing the behavior of all employees according
to standards based on the utmost transparency and fairness towards the market
and the stakeholders.
The Code of Ethics consists in:
1. General Principles in relations with stakeholders
They define the values which
inspire the Company's actions. In particular, they include honesty,
impartiality, confidentiality, safeguarding shareholder value, value of human
resources, transparent and complete information, quality of services,
environmental protection and responsibility towards the community.
2. Criteria of Conduct in relations with each category of stakeholders
They offers guidelines and
rules that Company's co-workers must observe to comply with general principles
and prevent the risk of unethical behavior. In particular, they include
criteria of conduct in relations with shareholders, employees, customers,
suppliers, communities.
3. Implementation procedures
They describe the
monitoring system that is necessary to ensure
compliance with the Code of Ethics. The Audit Department is entrusted
with the task of seeing that the Code of Ethics is applied and observed. To
this end it carries out specific activities (for example analyzing and
assessing the processes of ethical-risk control, as well as receiving and
analyzing reports of violations of the Code). These activities are carried out
with the assistance of the corporate departments concerned.
