Human Resources
Group companies recognize the central importance of human resources and believe that the key to the success of any business is the professional contribution of the people that work for it, in a climate of fairness and mutual trust. Group companies shall safeguard health and safety in the workplace and consider respect for workers' rights as fundamental to the business.
Working relationships are managed with a view to guaranteeing equal opportunities and promoting the professional development of each employee. (Article 6 of the Ethical Code 
).
The sustainable management of Pirelli's internal community is developed from all possible angles, in line with the Principles and Values expressed in the
Ethical Code, in the "

Equal Opportunities Statement" of the Group.
Since 2004 Pirelli identified the international standard
SA8000® as the benchmark tool for assessing the consistency of the Group's conduct with the CSR principles specified therein.
This entails frequent performance assessment of local sustainability indicators.
