Health & Safety, Product Assurance
Effective management of Workplace Health & Safety and Product Assurance are key elements of corporate social responsibility. These two pillars not only improve productivity and the company image, but also contribute to creating a positive work environment and to satisfying customer expectations.
Workplace Health & Safety focuses on the protection and promotion of worker well-being, guaranteeing safe working environments which comply with applicable legislation. Product Assurance, on the other hand, ensures that products comply with safety and quality requirements through mandatory and voluntary certification processes. Together, these practices reinforce trust in the brand and demonstrate the company's commitment to sustainable and responsible practices.
