For pursuing our vision of sustainable trading, the ARTEBENE Group joined the UN Global Compact Initiative for corporate social responsibility in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. To become a member of this initiative, we have undertaken to follow the 10 principles published by the United Nations. These principals are an integral part of our business relationships and of the ARTEBENE Purchasing Guidelines. As is customary in any good partnership, we agree in writing with our suppliers upon respecting the principles and we maintain our contacts by visiting them regularly at their sites.
