Quattroemme Consulting recognizes its Social Responsibility and the ten principles that underlie the “Global Compact” regarding:

• Human rights
• Work
• Environment
• Fight against corruption

We believe that Social Responsibility is an important factor for the long-term success of a company and the same applies to our stakeholders (shareholders, business partners, employees and customers). Prerequisite for the assumption of Social Responsibility is to preserve our competitiveness and durability over time and constitutes an indispensable component of a value-oriented business management, which provides for the protection of the rights of our personnel including their professional and personal growth and development. To achieve these common objectives, Quattroemme Consulting has listed the principles, inspired by the conventions of the International Labor Organization valid at national and international level, drawn up recognizing and respecting the different cultures and the multiple visions of social values.
