Growing in a healthy, sustainable and responsible way – The corporate social responsibility at Alfrus
From the very beginning, we have always promoted a socially ethical approach towards our employees, customers, consumers, families and local communities. This is because we believe that social responsibility is one of the essential requirements of sustainability, since both are based on the achievement of shared values.
For this reason, in our way of doing business, we comply with universal principles such as safeguarding health, making the most of human resources, the conscious and efficient use of natural sources of energy.
We aim to build an actual shared corporate culture, by actively contributing to the effective management of social and ethical impact issues and promoting a sustainable transformation. This goal led us to support scientific research projects and interventions aiming to create virtuous circles with a strong social impact.
Practical actions that, like seeds, meet our land to generate fruits of hope and life.
Internally, we take care of our employees’ health and safety management and their constant training, providing them with new opportunities, always protecting equal rights and paying particular attention to gender equality.
On the external front, however, we grow our relationship with the companies that choose us and the final consumers, to whom we provide clear and transparent information about our work and the entire supply chain, but we also care about the relationship with suppliers, selected between the most sustainable oriented ones. Finally, we safeguard the territory hosting us through completely sustainable company processes.
WHEN ATTENTION TO VALUES IS CERTIFIED
For us, people come first. Every day we aim to involve more and more local communities, to give value to those who work with us.
This is why we have obtained prestigious certifications about corporate social responsibility. Our commitment to the well-being of our employees and collaborators is proved by two important standards:
– UNI ISO 26000:2010 – The most important international reference providing guidelines on corporate social responsibility for sustainable development.
– UNI ISO 45001:2018 – The certificate that guarantees the existence of an occupational health and safety management system at work.
Furthermore, our company is an active part of two renowned international platforms dedicated to the growth and promotion of ethical and social business principles such as SEDEX and ECOVADIS.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY?
In recent years, companies have understood that, in an increasingly internationalized context, success is not only determined by good performance in terms of profit, but also through social commitment.
A product is no longer appreciated just for its quality properties, but above all for its intangible characteristics. Ethical commitment is part of the value chain.
At Alfrus, we have always been aware of this aspect’s importance and every day we try to raise awareness about it, encouraging comanies to adopt an organizational structure based on corporate social responsibility.
Let’s discover together some of the advantages coming with it.
Improvement of company reputation
In the context of the highly competitive market in which we operate, corporate responsibility is a factor that makes the difference, because consumers are more likely to buy from companies that respect their own values.
Improvement of employees’ engagement and productivity
Social responsibility initiatives improve employees’ sense of belonging and motivation, leading to increased productivity and job satisfaction.
Greater customer loyalty
Promoting your values through socially responsible initiatives strenghtens customer loyalty.
Increased social and economic value
Socially responsible companies are more likely to attract consumers who buy their products regardless of price.
Our vision goes “beyond”.
What we aspire is a business model that can generate value for all and contribute to global well-being, raising awareness and encouraging social change in each one of us.
