Quality, environment and safety management policy

OBJECTIVES

The obvious, primary and fundamental goal of FININC S.p.A., as a private company operating in the holding services sector, is to maintain and if possible increase its average annual turnover and achieve a plausible margin of profit.

In these times of worldwide economic crisis and fierce competition, this goal can only be achieved through careful and shrewd management of the company’s resources and organisation, constant and meticulous control over production costs and scrupulous compliance with all quality and safety aspects of the “product”, as required by the Holding BoD.

Increasing competitiveness means operating in full compliance with all the laws in effect, providing services of the highest quality level capable of meeting all standards, along with planning and control of all requirements of the Holding BoD and the subsidiaries.

To achieve this requires a concrete corporate strategy aimed at assuring excellence in all services provided by FININC, with constant attention on professionally improving its human resources and hence its production capacity, quality and economic competitiveness, while conducting its business in full respect of the territory and the environment.

FININC S.p.A. also believes that it is fundamentally important to be able to realise its product while adopting procedures and goals that tend toward the continual improvement of both efficiency and safety, both for its own personnel and that of its suppliers, to fully comply with all supply requirements in all product and process-related sectors, and all laws, specifications, orders and protocols.

 

INSTRUMENTS

FININC S.p.A. has opted to pursue these goals by adopting procedures and instruments integrated into a Quality Assurance System in compliance with UNI EN ISO 9001:2015; an Environmental Management System in compliance with UNI EN ISO 14001:2015, and a Safety Management System in compliance with UNI ISO 45001:2018. The application of these standards is essential in creating an effective and efficient organizational structure, guaranteeing services capable of meeting all customer expectations, whether explicit or implicit, and giving FININC itself greater awareness of the environmental impact of its activities and the products and services it provides.

Careful management of human resources, through motivational training, instruction and information are fundamental tools for developing the professional capacity of its workforce, a culture of quality and a collaborative environment in all company departments.

The Statutory Employer has the authority and responsibility to suspend any activities or processes liable to jeopardise the health and safety of its employees; the Occupational Health and Safety Officer has the authority and responsibility to conduct audits and checks to verify the implementation and effectiveness of the OHSA system and adopt suitable preventive and protective measures; the OHSO is required to inform the Statutory Employer and WSR as to the status of the OHSAS and measures for assuring compliance therewith.
