SABAF and its staff THE SA8000 STANDARD Sabaf S.p.A.’s social accountability system complies with the requirements of the SA8000 standard, for which the company obtained certification in 2005, and which was last renewed in March 2015 for a further three years. The decision to certify the system stemmed from the belief that the Company’s human resources are an important asset. In particular, it seeks to raise awareness among management, suppliers, employees and independent contractors of full compliance with the social accountability principles enshrined in the standard. In implementing SA8000, Sabaf S.p.A. has analysed and monitored the main ethical and social risk factors in terms of child labour, forced labour, health and safety, freedom
of association and the right to collective bargaining, discrimination, disciplinary procedures, working hours and compensation. During the year dialogue was maintained between management representatives and workers’ representatives concerning the concrete application of the SA8000 standard. The social accountability management system was audited twice by IMQ / IQ NET in 2015. During the audit the auditors collected evidence of the company’s commitment to supporting the Social Accountability System, and no evidence of non-compliance emerged.
