Social Corporate Responsibility

“In the current productive context, we are aware that the “ethical” commitment of a company has entered directly into the value-chain, requiring the need to apply competitive levers coherent with “sustainable development”: the company undertakes its role primarily pursuing economic objectives, that guarantee growth and employment, but must not neglect the social context and the strong ties with the territory where  ones own business is created.”  (Luigi Cremonini -Chairman)
