ETHICAL

Act with integrity and build sustainable relations

“We believe that the success of our Group is closely linked to its history, its culture and the values on which it relies, today as in the past, to pursue its development. My family, which has been at the head of this Group since 1927, has always been committed to a humanistic and loyal approach in its choices and its relations with the Group’s customers, employees and partners. We believe that building lasting relationships and acting with integrity is the only way to build trust between a company and its stakeholders..”
