supporting inclusive development in compliance with international standards.
The overarching shared principles that inspire us
The Code of Ethics was drafted in strict adherence with the guiding principles established worldwide in the declarations, treaties, initiatives and guidelines published by international legal bodies.
“Our adherence to the Global Compact and status as a founding member of the Global Compact Network Italy are the natural consequence of Var Group’s actions and commitment to the topics addressed by the Global Compact’s ten principles ever since its foundation, and flow seamlessly from the policies adopted internally by the company for its workers, customers, and suppliers and for all stakeholders and shareholders in general”.
Our legal compliance tools
We place ethics and sound governance at the foundation of our activities, which are guided, day in, day out, by the core principles of transparency, accountability and compliance with the law. To further strengthen this approach, we have adopted Model 231 and the Code of Ethics of our parent company, SeSa S.p.A., which establish clear rules of conduct and values to guide our actions.
Maintaining the trust of all stakeholders involved
The Var Group Model 231 includes provisions for whistleblowing, a tool that enables our staff and suppliers to report, either anonymously or by name, any conduct that is unlawful or in violation of our corporate regulations.
VarWhistle: protection and transparency for corporate whistleblowing
VarWhistle is the whistleblowing system that protects the whistleblower's identity, in line with Italian and European law. Managed in accordance with a dedicated procedure, the platform enables individuals, suppliers and other stakeholders to anonymously report presumed misconduct and violations of the Code of Ethics.
Our Sustainability Operations Committee
We have established our Sustainability Operations Committee to reinforce our commitment, giving it an active role in our corporate strategy in order to create lasting value.
This in-house body comprises representatives of all aspects of the organisation and provides analysis, proposals and advice for the definition of the company’s ESG strategy, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable development throughout the value chain.
