To achieve these general objectives, specific targets are formulated for each function and they are supported, where possible, by numerical parameters to control, which are defined, controlled and systematically updated during the annual reviews of the Integrated Management System by the Management. The results which are obtained are disclosed to all stakeholders in the most suitable ways (Environmental Statement, the Sustainability Report, the company website).
This policy is regularly reviewed in order to keep up to date and it is in line with the size, nature and business objectives. The policy is widespread to all stakeholders, especially workers, customers and suppliers, and it is posted on the company website. GAIA also aims to involve actively and gradually its own suppliers in the application of SA8000 requirements.
GAIA S.p.A. commits itself in maintaining legal compliance as well as continual improvement, implementing procedures, regulations and instructions to ensure that the values expressed in this policy and in its own Ethical Code are reflected in the behavior of each employee and collaborator.
