Marcegaglia Oskar, in line with the commitment of the entire Group, has embarked on a structured journey to achieve SA8000 certification, one of the most widely recognised international standards in the field of corporate social responsibility.
This new journey builds on a solid foundation of quality and sustainability. Indeed, the company is already certified to ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001 and ISO 14001—certifications that reflect our ongoing commitment to operational excellence, health and safety, energy efficiency and environmental protection.
Our commitment takes shape through measures already adopted, which represent the operational and cultural foundations of this path:
- The SA8000 Social Responsibility Policy, which sets clear rules for the protection of workers and promotes diversity, equity and inclusion, while also providing whistleblowing and monitoring systems.
- The Responsible Procurement Policy, which extends ethical principles throughout the entire supply chain, requiring suppliers to respect human rights, prevent corruption, safeguard the environment and ensure workplace safety.
These are not mere statements of intent, but the concrete framework on which our daily actions are built.
The path towards SA8000 also translates into further targeted and ongoing activities, including:
- Supplier mapping and engagement: supporting them in complying with ethical, environmental and social principles, to build a sustainable and transparent supply chain.
- Improvement of internal processes: focusing on regulatory compliance, transparent practices and the strengthening of reporting and risk-prevention systems.
- Training and awareness: promoting awareness programmes for employees and collaborators to reinforce a culture of human rights, safety and shared responsibility.
- Environmental and energy protection: in line with Group guidelines, working to reduce emissions, manage resources responsibly, and continuously improve environmental standards.
This path is not simply a formal achievement, but a genuine added value for clients, employees and stakeholders. It fosters trust-based relationships across the entire supply chain and demonstrates our commitment to adopting a business model truly oriented towards social sustainability.
The SA8000 certification therefore represents an important milestone in our overall ESG strategy, where social responsibility is not seen as a constraint, but as an opportunity to grow in a sustainable, competitive and inclusive way.
