Code of Ethics
Sustainable procurement practices
Individual supply contracts include special clauses that require
suppliers, agents and collaborators to comply with the Group's
Code of Ethics.
In particular, in contracts entered into with suppliers from countries
considered 'at risk', defined as such by the relevant organisations,
contractual clauses are introduced that provide for:
→ A self-certification by the supplier regarding the adherence to
specific social obligations (e.g. measures guaranteeing workers'
respect for fundamental human rights, principles of equal
treatment and non-discrimination, protection of child labour);
→ The possibility of undertaking monitoring activities at the
production units or operating sites of the supplier company in
order to verify the fulfilment of these requirements.
Artemide's suppliers must also conform to the principles of the
Code of Ethics in the relationships with their stakeholders.
Artemide verifies, as far as possible, the commercial and
professional reliability of new suppliers, in order to ascertain that
there are no links of any kind with criminal, terrorist or mafia
organisations.
Actions continue to involve the supply chain in an extended
sustainability project with developments planned for 2021, aimed
at ensuring that suppliers are selected on the basis of criteria of
sustainability, ethics and compliance with international regulations.
