Compliance with rules and ethical conduct: requirements for certification
On 3 February 2016, the Italian Competition and Market Authority awarded Euro Stampaggi the Legality Rating. This is an ethical certification that promotes the adoption of legal, ethical and transparent behaviour by companies, and their commitment to improving their responsible impact on society and the environment.
The Legality Rating was established by Decree Law 1/2012 with the aim of promoting the introduction of ethical principles in corporate behaviour. The implementing decrees will be issued in November 2012, and Euro Stampaggi is taking immediate action to initiate the procedures that will lead to the ratification of compliance with the requirements of the law in 2016.
The rating is awarded based on recognition of companies’ compliance with high standards of legality and measures transparent, ethical and virtuous corporate management. It also promotes merit-based competition, encouraging compliance with both internal rules, in the organisation of work and in relations with staff, and external rules towards customers, suppliers, the environment and the community.
