Inclusion, well-being, positivity: people are at the heart of our success

People

Growth starts with the people

We strongly believe in the importance of guaranteeing a welcoming, stimulating, positive, attractive work environment.

We are aware of how crucial employee satisfaction is in order to ensure quality and productivity, and we know that it is greatly influenced by the work-life balance. Implementing innovative incentive policies and tools aimed at increasing personal and family well-being and improving the work-life balance is part of our commitment.

We have always been committed to maintaining ties with local communities, promoting their positive development.

Through our efforts, we give a tangible contribution to the following SDGs

PRODUCT QUALITY AND SAFETY

We have great responsibilities, and quality is one of them; this has always been one of our core values at ESI, bringing us closer to our consumers.

Our results:

ISO 9001:2015: Certification attesting the overall quality of ESI production.

FSSC 22000: Food safety certification based on ISO 22000:2018.

CLINICALLY TESTED: clinical evaluation carried out by universities, research institutes and hospitals certifying the efficacy and safety of our products.

Our goals:

Maintaining the current certifications;

RISK REDUCTION

Ensuring healthy and safe workplaces for all employees is an unparalleled commitment for us. A thorough analysis of the risks involved with company activities and their accurate assessment are essential tools for preventing, controlling and facing hazards.

Our results:

We established a Health and Safety Management System, according to Italian regulations, particularly in compliance with Legislative Decree No. 81 of April 9, 2008, and the regulations referred to therein;

We established several internal procedures for emergency management (Covid-19, flood, fire..) in order to safely perform all activities;

We installed a high-power extraction system to minimise the risks coming from powdered product lines;

Our goals:

reducing physical exertion in production and warehouse activities by using specific machinery that supports the operator while working.

OCCUPATIONAL WELL-BEING AND CORPORATE WELFARE

We promote a welcoming, stimulating and positive work environment with programs designed to ensure full respect for the right to health and the protection of well-being.

Our results:

In 2023, we improved how the company welfare plan can be used. Now employees can choose to use the services of unaffiliated entities and request reimbursement for the cost of the services used.

In 2023, in light of our activities, we delivered 2,600 hours of training for an average of 21 hours per employee. This was a significant increase over the 400 hours delivered in 2022.

We currently cover the cost of the health insurance provided for under the National Collective Bargaining Agreement (CCNL) for the Food Sector through the Fasa Fund. We have entered into an agreement with a medical centre near our site to offer employees reduced prices for various types of medical services.

Our goals:

● Strengthen internal corporate communication
● Create a gender equality management system
● Provide ESG training to employees
