Social responsibility

The primary aim of the company is to seek profit, to be obtained by raising productivity and developing production capacity; profit to be pursued, however, in a socially responsible manner. These are the values which have always guided the activities of Giovanni Arvedi and which for over 50 years he has passed on to the companies which make up the Arvedi Group. The deeply-rooted bond which has always existed with the town of Cremona and its province, at the core of entrepreneurial activities which now go beyond Italy’s border, attentive community relations – listening to and in dialogue – are strategic values which the Group pursues wherever it is present.

The real protagonists of manufacturing operations are people. The Arvedi Group currently employs more than 6,000 people, precious resources to be protected and in which to invest and who are active components of the communities in which they live. In these times of rapid change, a company, above all a family-run company strongly linked to the economic fabric of its area, does not determine its actions only by its ability to create profit; in the end each decision taken extends the perimeter of the company to the benefit of society, passing on values and culture: the company contributes to the economic and social growth of the territories in which it operates. Reasons which drive the Group towards a constant commitment to supporting local communities socially and culturally.

Though the current economic situation is not the most favourable for the economy and for companies, a substantially positive picture is emerging where, significant achieved results, areas emerge of improvements to be consolidated with the support of everyone and through constant open dialogue with the communities, as happens in the Osservatorio Arvedi which has been in operation for years in Cremona. The aim is to define future projects able to integrate core business and reducing the environmental impact of the production activities, challenges which the Arvedi Group is ready to face with the necessary skills and sense of responsibility, as is happening with the impressive clean-up, modernising and industrial relaunching operations at the Trieste works.
