Social Sustainability
Responsibility
The Emilgroup corporate policy has always been based on respect for the environment, people’s health and the socioeconomic fabric of the community in which it operates. Over the years the company has sought to implement the values of sustainable construction by constantly improving the impact of its production process, focusing on the healthiness of its products, safeguarding the health and safety of all workers and, last but not least, supporting people and the local area.
Corporate policy
In order to fully meet the expectations of stakeholders in terms of the quality of its products/services and processes, occupational health and safety and its respect for the environment and energy performance, Emilgroup believes that it is fundamental to understand all of the positive and negative impacts it generates in its sphere of action.
Emilgroup must be able to identify, quantify and manage its risks and opportunities taking an overall life cycle perspective of its products and processes, and adopting a transparent, collaborative and prudent approach.
Code of ethics
Emilgroup has issued a Code of Ethics with the intention of further reinforcing relations with all stakeholders.
The Emilgroup code of ethics:
- States the Company's rights, duties and responsibilities in relation to all its stakeholders (customers, suppliers, employees, associates, shareholders and institutions) in the pursuit of its corporate objective
- Is intended to establish ethical and behavioural “standards” to guide corporate decision-making processes and conduct
- Requires management and all those to whom it applies to behave appropriately, with actions that do not breach the corporate Code of Ethics
- Helps to implement the Group’s policy of social and environmental responsibility, minimizing exposure to risks of compliance and reputation and reinforcing a sense of belonging in its stakeholders.
Support for schools
Since 2008, every year the group has awarded 10 student grants of a total of €10,000 to children of its employees who have shown outstanding ability in their studies. This initiative is the result of an agreement with the workers’ representatives and aims to support successful academic careers and consolidate the achievements of the students. The grants are awarded in the autumn in the presence of the authorities and the students’ families.
Support for workers and their families
Emilgroup has put together an extensive company welfare programme aimed at improving the individual and family wellbeing of employees who can take advantage of a series of services provided by a number of local partners (banks and insurance companies, cars and services, pharmacies and health services, family services, services for the home, bookshops, sports clubs and gyms, catering, transport and travel, language courses, restaurants and supermarkets) at favourable rates.
The company also offers a healthcare programme for employees and their families, legal advice, psychological health assistance and insurance services. All services offered under these schemes are provided by specialist professionals with the confidentiality of employees guaranteed.
