Corporate policy. Quality, Environment and Safety.
In a market that is increasingly unstable and complex in economic and regulatory terms, requiring ever-increasing levels of flexibility and efficiency, Gazebo S.p.A. firmly believes that in order to compete successfully, it is essential to adopt a strategy capable of balancing economic targets of turnover, performance and cost containment, with sustainability goals and respect for the needs of stakeholders.
Gazebo S.p.A. has identified an Integrated Management System compliant with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 as the appropriate tool for its sustainable management from both economic and social points of view.
The strategy adopted by Gazebo S.p.A. is therefore to apply and continuously improve an Integrated Management System capable of pursuing the following strategic objectives:
Customer and stakeholder satisfaction: a commitment to understanding and meeting the expectations of customers, employees and all stakeholders within the Integrated Management System.

Risk management: a commitment to address all relevant activities and issues related to the Integrated Management System through a systematic approach of identifying, assessing and managing risks in order to prevent negative outcomes and enhance positive ones.
Enhancing the quality of processes and products: Gazebo S.p.A.’s Mission is to produce high-tech products for water purification and to stand out for the high quality of its components; to this end, efforts must be made to identify and enhance the activities that create added value through a process-driven approach. This approach, combined with “Risk-Based Thinking”, should guide managers towards goal-oriented management and the prevention of non-conformities to ensure products and services of the highest quality that consistently meet requirements over time.
Protecting workers and Preventing illness and injury: a commitment to eliminate the hazards and reduce the specific risks for the health and safety of workers by analysing and managing risks, training staff and raising awareness, improving the workplace and technologies used and providing all protective equipment.

Energy performance: Gazebo S.p.A. is convinced that proper energy management is the most effective way to reduce costs and emissions at the same time, bringing economic and environmental benefits to the company and its surroundings. Gazebo S.p.A. is committed to an ongoing analysis of energy performance in order to identify areas for improvement.
Managing change: an ongoing commitment to analysing and managing risks to health and safety, the quality of products and processes, environmental impact and regulatory compliance arising from the design and development of new products and processes and changes in organisation, techniques, procedures, duties and equipment.
Engagement of top management: maintaining a proactive role for Management and all Department Heads in promoting the continuous improvement of the integrated management system.
Respect for and protection of diversity and equal opportunities: a commitment to fostering a culture that values individuals in their humanity by analysing and eliminating discrimination risks based on gender, physical ability, ideology, identity, origin, culture, politics, religion, and sexual orientation.
Worker involvement, consultation and participation: ensuring all staff are involved, consulted, engaged and jointly responsible for embracing the policy and corporate aims, fostering a culture of prevention aimed at maintaining and developing safe working conditions and improving the quality of the processes and products.
Expertise and training: ensuring that personnel involved in the key processes of the management system have the necessary expertise, knowledge and skills.
Efficient and safe workplaces, equipment and machinery: a commitment to providing safe and healthy working conditions, to ensure the proper application and improvement of the technologies, machinery and equipment used and, where possible, to pursue the adoption of more advanced technologies in terms of quality, environment and safety.

Reviewing the Integrated Management System: the Management undertakes to periodically review the adequacy and capacity of the Integrated Management Policy and System to achieve the planned targets and to ensure continuous improvement.
To this end, the Management shall:
- ensure that the Integrated Management System Policy is communicated and supported at all levels of the Company’s organisation, is available to all interested parties and is reviewed periodically to ensure that it is always relevant and appropriate;
- guarantee all those in charge of company processes and the Integrated Management System Manager the authority and resources necessary for the constant control/monitoring of the application of the System implementation process and subsequent improvements;
- provide the necessary resources to achieve targets;
- encourage the continuous improvement of each employee’s individual skills.
Improvements in Quality, Environmental and Safety issues are not the responsibility of a select group of specialists, but involve every Head of Department, worker and co-worker in the Company; this collaboration, together with the products and services the company offers, safe management of all the processes and respect for the environment, will ensure satisfaction for everyone involved, and therefore us as well. By drawing up and publishing this Policy, the Management requests that everyone participates in its realisation and specifically invites all workers and co-workers to:
- work together in the implementation and updating of the System and to scrupulously comply with its requirements;
- point out and promptly notify Management of any behaviour or situation deemed hazardous for the environment or people’s health and safety, so it and its colleagues can quickly analyse and resolve these issues.
In line with this declaration of intent, measurable objectives are identified each year in order to assess their achievement and the degree of improvement achieved.
