CODE OF ETHICS
Bedeschi has developed a Code of Ethics that summarizes the principles of conduct that directors, managers, employees and collaborators in any capacity, must respect in carrying out business activities, in performing work tasks, and, in general, in internal and external relations with the Company itself.
Structured by type of stakeholder, the new Code of Ethics sets out general ethical principles (respect for human rights and laws, transparency, protection of industrial property and independence of information) and specific ones for each stakeholder, from our customers to suppliers, from human resources to investors, from communities to environmental institutions.
The Code of Ethics promotes a high level of professionalism and condemns behaviors that not only violate current legal provisions but also conflict with the values that the Company has established for itself.
In this regard, the company has implemented a zero-tolerance policy against all forms of discrimination, harassment, abuse, sexist behavior, and any actions that undermine individual dignity.
This policy aims to foster a safe, inclusive, and fair workplace that respects the rights of everyone.

INNOVATION
The topic of innovation follows two distinct paths: Research & Development and technological innovation.
Today more than yesterday, innovation is essential to maintain competitiveness in the market. Bedeschi has started a project of digital transformation called BeSmart.
BeSmart project aims to build an integrated approach between the different business departments: from the sales process, where the aim is to strengthen budgeting and costing by offering solutions that are increasingly in line with customer requirements, to design using a shared platform with databases that can be extended to customers and suppliers.
In addition, for the purchasing department, an e-procurement system has been implemented for supplier on-boarding and order documentation control, for both the purchasing and the administration departments with an increasingly high level of digitization of processes, from electronic invoicing to financial planning.
The analysis of the processes and new technologies that accompanied this path has revealed new potential future developments that lead us today to consider innovating the entire ERP by 2023, taking the company to an even higher stage of technological integration.
