Environment
The Pininfarina Group, also by virtue of its industrial past, has maintained a high sensitivity to environmental issues, adopting rigid criteria of conduct to protect the environment, formalized and disseminated within its Code of Ethics and maintaining a proactive approach over the years in monitoring its performance in this area.
As proof of its commitment and with a view to continuous improvement, Pininfarina S.p.A., the only Group company to still manage production laboratories, has obtained the UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 certification relating to the Environmental Management System for the Cambiano and Grugliasco sites. This certification is further recognition of the continuous efforts made by the Company with a view to improving its products, processes and services.
Consistent with the company strategy and in order to clearly explain the management's commitment, Pininfarina updated its Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Policy in September 2023, also published on its website, with which it intended to underline the commitment made by the Group in developing sustainability issues along the ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) guidelines and in adopting programs aimed at safeguarding the safety of workers and the surrounding environment for all its production sites.
This Policy is integrated by a series of Procedures and Operational Instructions updated in accordance with the ISO 14001:2015 standard, in which the responsibilities and operational methods for implementing the commitments undertaken are defined in detail. Consistently, Pininfarina S.p.A. annually sets specific environmental targets which aim to ensure the achievement of the objectives defined in its EHS Policy.
Employees
The Pininfarina Group recognizes the importance of Human Resources, i.e. People who, with their skills, their professionalism and their passion, contribute fundamentally to the achievement of company objectives. This attention on the part of the Group is evident in the principles of the Code of Ethics and even more so in the daily behavior of its people.
Companies like Pininfarina are now experiencing a continuous process of reorganization, due to the rapidity of technological evolution and market transformation. In this context, People constitute the strategic resource par excellence to guarantee the continuous improvement of performance and it is therefore increasingly important to know how to identify, organize, involve and manage them in an optimal way.
Pininfarina has always been committed in this sense to guarantee correct management of human resources as a lever to pursue the improvement of competitive performance and promote the value of performance quality.
