SUSTAINABILITY FIRST

Sustainability - understood as financial, social and environmental sustainability - is at the heart of SACMI's actions and guides its strategic and decision-making processes.

SUSTAINABILITY BOARD

SACMI set up the Sustainability Board, with the aim of extending the scope, quantity and quality of the company's financial, social and environmental sustainability indicators.

SACMI assesses its sustainability performance according to internationally recognized criteria and standards. The strategic significance of sustainability and technological innovation, especially in the fields of automation and digitalization, means that all SACMI Businesses are committed to making production processes more environment-friendly. ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) indicators also play a key role in the Group's financial plans, which involve access to funding opportunities that fall within the scope of the Green New Deal.
SACMI also encourages partners, customers and suppliers to get involved on the main international platforms that assess the sustainability of technology, products and services as a competitiveness factor.

The values of cooperation

The principles of internal and external mutuality have been part of SACMI's DNA since its foundation. These principles are implemented year after year with concrete actions, from respect for the environment to the enhancement of work, from attention to the territory to actions to offer new opportunities in developing countries.

SACMI continuously invests in projects to support the local and international community in particular in the areas of health, education, care (more than EUR 2.2 million from 2020).

SACMI puts people at the centre. It operates a comprehensive benefits and corporate welfare programme for employees and their families.

Code of Ethics

SACMI gives importance and is constantly committed to the correctness and continuous improvement of professional relationships with partners, employees, customers, partners, suppliers, institutions and competitors.

For this reason, in 2005 SACMI Imola adopted a Code of Ethics expressing its ethical commitments and responsibilities, which all collaborators must comply with when conducting business and company activities.

This document constitutes a reference for all those who collaborate with the Cooperative, and in the first place for those who are called upon to govern, administer and manage it. The Code of Ethics is also a reference point for the companies of the SACMI Network, which are called upon to implement it also, if necessary, adapting it to individual company specificities.

Certified quality and responsibility

For SACMI, being socially responsible means seeking the best solutions while respecting the dignity of work, protection of the environment and social ethics, key factors in daily business activities.

From this point of view, SACMI has adopted a set of internationally recognised certifications, including a management system that complies with ISO 14001, integrating it with the ISO 9001 quality and safety management system for workers, ISO45001. SACMI Imola currently has an Integrated Management System that complies with the standards:

UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 - Quality
UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 - Environment
UNI ISO 45001:2018 - Health and Safet

During 2020, the transition to the new standard for the Health and Safety Management System (ISO 45001) was completed and a dedicated working group was set up with the aim of incorporating all legislative and health indications relating to the measures to be adopted to ensure the continuity of a safe production for all workers.
