Maddalena S.p.A. obtained the SA8000 Certification in 2021 and since then it has continued to improve its social performance<\/strong>, as evidenced by the positive results of the annual inspection audit carried out on the 12th<\/sup> of April 2023 by the CISE<\/a> certification body.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\nThe SA8000:2014 standard\u00a0\u00a0(SA: Social Accountability) is the first international standard about Corporate Social Responsibility;\u00a0it is a management model that aims to enhance and protect the human resources of those organizations that adopt it<\/strong> and want to stand out for their commitment to sustainable development, particularly in the field of social issues<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Social Fingerprint is a social performance self-assessment tool based on nine indicators regarding the Management System<\/strong>. Each indicator is evaluated on a scale that goes from 1 to 5, where 1 represents a low performance and 5 represents an excellent performance.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average result obtained by Maddalena in 2022 is of 4,2, which has increased with respect to the 3,7 reached in 2021. This means that the Company has achieved a high maturity level in managing social responsibility and has demonstrated a constant commitment to continuous improvement.<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Supply Chain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, during this last year, the Company implemented a process of sharing the principles<\/a> of SA8000 not only internally but also with the most relevant suppliers and partners<\/a><\/strong>: this initiative has the goal to extend the social responsibility throughout the entire value chain and to prevent potential risks linked to the violation of workers\u2019 rights by suppliers. Requesting documentary evidence or filling sustainability ratings is a consolidated practice<\/strong> within the entire supply chain, and also Maddalena chose to fill, for example, the Ecovadis<\/a> ESG Rating in order to meet the clients\u2019 requests.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
