Responsibility

The Emilgroup corporate policy has always been based on respect for the environment, people’s health and the socioeconomic fabric of the community in which it operates. Over the years the company has sought to implement the values of sustainable construction by constantly improving the impact of its production process, focusing on the healthiness of its products, safeguarding the health and safety of all workers and, last but not least, supporting people and the local area.

Corporate policy

In order to fully meet the expectations of stakeholders in terms of the quality of its products/services and processes, occupational health and safety and its respect for the environment and energy performance, Emilgroup believes that it is fundamental to understand all of the positive and negative impacts it generates in its sphere of action.

Emilgroup must be able to identify, quantify and manage its risks and opportunities taking an overall life cycle perspective of its products and processes, and adopting a transparent, collaborative and prudent approach.

Code of ethics

Emilgroup has issued a Code of Ethics with the intention of further reinforcing relations with all stakeholders.

The Emilgroup code of ethics:

- Is intended to establish ethical and behavioural “standards” to guide corporate decision-making processes and conduct

- Requires management and all those to whom it applies to behave appropriately, with actions that do not breach the corporate Code of Ethics

- Helps to implement the Group’s policy of social and environmental responsibility, minimizing exposure to risks of compliance and reputation and reinforcing a sense of belonging in its stakeholders.

Support for culture

Emilgroup believes in the social and cultural role of enterprise and has promoted and financed important projects to promote and safeguard cultural heritage over the years.

Emilgroup has made a long-term commitment to the restoration of the Ducal Palace in Sassuolo, recovering and restoring the original floors in terracotta and financing the restoration of the 17th-century frescoes by painter Jean Boulanger in the “Camera di Giove” (Jupiter Room). Among the many initiatives, the most important and original include the rediscovery of the ancient origins of Sassuolo ceramics, supported and documented with the publication of fundamental works, including volumes on Sassuolo ceramics from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Support for schools

Since 2008, every year the group has awarded 10 student grants of a total of €10,000 to children of its employees who have shown outstanding ability in their studies. This initiative is the result of an agreement with the workers’ representatives and aims to support successful academic careers and consolidate the achievements of the students. The grants are awarded in the autumn in the presence of the authorities and the students’ families.
