SOCIAL COMMITMENT OF BERICAH,
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE COMPANY
Bericah S.p.A. works hard to reassure the users of its devices as regards to protection, prevention and safety. But it also does much more than that.
For years, the Vicenza-based company has, in fact, also been active in the social field through tangible support to national and international entities, committed to helping people in difficulty, combating illiteracy and disease, protecting the environment, research and scientific dissemination, and treating drug addiction and youth unrest.
The contribution of the company to schools, associations, non-profit organisations, parishes, retirement homes and more, is in addition to the support of the local area.
In 2020, during the pandemic, Bericah S.p.A. donated more than 70,000 disposable gloves to the Vicenza Civil Defence Service, which were distributed to families, offices and schools, together with masks and sanitising gels: a precious support in a period of great difficulty and shortages of these important products for the prevention of the spreading of Covid-19 and protection from the same.
Significant support was also given in 2021 to the PKKII Institute, a Malaysian facility that houses children and young people with brain injuries.
Love what you have.
Love what you do.
Love what you give.
Ama ciò che hai.
Ama ciò che fai.
Ama ciò che dai.
Social Accountability 8000
At Bericah S.p.A., we have also chosen to protect human rights throughout our whole supply chain.
We do this through Social Accountability 8000 (SA8000), the first international standard designed to improve the working conditions of people with respect to several issues, such as discrimination, occupational health and safety, fair pay and working hours, freedom of association and disciplinary procedures, fight against child and forced labour.
At Bericah S.p.A., we strive for constant dialogue and improvements at all levels through suggestions, complaints and other company tools, including meetings.
The available points of contact are the Social Performance Team, in charge of collecting reports and defining actions to resolve issues related to compliance with the SA8000 standard, and the Health and Safety Committee for the evaluation of risks inside the company.
The reason behind the adhesion of Bericah S.p.A. to this important international standard was to ensure consistent respect and safeguard of the rights of those who work inside the company and of external partners, such as our suppliers.
By following the SA8000 standard, we are committed to reducing risks in the workplace, creating better working conditions, ensuring that everyone has an active role as regard to social responsibility, improving collaboration with our suppliers and making sure that they too adhere to the principles of the standard.
Bericah S.p.A. is also committed to raising awareness among the people and companies that work with us, so that they do not underestimate or tolerate the two social scourges of child and forced labour. In fact, we ask our employees to report any breaches and we undertake to disseminate all the information provided for by the relevant legislation in force with total transparency, and to provide any clarification or insight to anyone who may be interested.
To the freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, at Berica S.p.A. we also add our commitment to the elimination of unjustified disciplinary measures and to sustainable working hours, clearly communicated at the time of recruitment and displayed around the company for all to see.
Bericah S.p.A. has also adopted the principles and objectives of the SA8000 standard in the fight against discrimination based on class, race, origin, religion, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation, trade union membership or political affiliation.
