The Group recognizes the importance of free, open and fair
competition; therefore, the Group’s companies repudiates any
form of unlawful conduct and abuse of dominance. Artemide
rejects any form of bribery of public and private entities. Italian
or foreign companies are committed to complying with the six
principles expressed by the UK Bribery Act 2010 to prevent
bribery; this policy is the subject of a specific training plan. During
2018, in relation to recent regulatory updates on whistleblowing,
Artemide has adopted a system to report irregularities and
potential wrongdoing, including instances of non-compliance
with environmental, human rights and personal integrity laws and
regulations by employees and third parties, supplementing the
channels already provided for reporting to the Supervisory Board.
In support of the Group's founding values of respect for people
and the environment, the Code of Ethics encompasses the
commitments and rules that the Group has adopted, with a
particular focus on sustainability. Investments and business
choices are addressed with consideration for the environment
and public health, as well as the needs of local and domestic
communities, while supporting scientific, cultural and social
initiatives. Furthermore, the companies of the Artemide Group
consider environmental issues when making decisions, also
through the adoption of special technologies and production
methods that make it possible to reduce the environmental impact
of their activities even beyond what mandated by law.
