Suppliers

The Gardant Group considers suppliers an essential part of the value chain. Both in strategic agreements and extemporary supplies, it privileges companies and professional studios that adopt principles of ethical integrity and social responsibility in their business.

The Gardant Group has activated a national network of suppliers with strategic value, defining:

  • Clear and structured reporting;
  • Internal procedures for the control of corruptive events (assess);
  • Obligation to operate — once the 231 Model and the Code of Ethics have been adopted — in compliance with what is set out in these documents and in the procurement policy, which requires, among other things, that the supplier undertakes to respect human rights and safety at work, confidentiality and data security, and to adopt practices to protect the environment (e.g.  attention for paperless process, consumption of water and energy, production and management of waste, etc.).

 

Furthermore, to ensure the consistency of its sustainability approach, the Group undertakes to include the evaluation of policies supporting the principles of ethical integrity and social, environmental, and governance responsibility in their business among the supplier selection criteria. 

Depending on the value and recurrence of the supply, a specific questionnaire on these topics is administered to suppliers

Community

We are not only committed to conducting business activities responsibly, but we also want to contribute to the development of the local community through initiatives that have a strong social impact and promote the development of the local context and the well-being of the community.

For this reason, the Group has chosen to sponsor important charity projects with the aim of enhancing the territory in which it operates.
