understand the needs and expectations of human resources;
strengthening the spirit of collaboration;
facilitate internal relations by consolidating a climate of cooperation within and between the various sectors and functions;
involve all employees directly and systematically in the life of the company.
To this end, Foppa Pedretti S.p.A. guarantees compliance with requirement 7 of the standard for Chain of Custody Certification FSC-STD-40-004 V3-1, relating to fundamental labour rights, as set out below.

The employment of staff against their will and the use of any form of labour under threat of punishment is prohibited. Working relationships with all employees are voluntary and based on mutual consent, without any form of direct or indirect threat by the employer on staff. All terms and conditions of employment are set out in the employment contract (ref. CCNL Legno Industria) which is signed by the employee, at the time of hiring, for his or her voluntary and conscious acceptance.

A trade union agreement is currently in force, and until 31/12/2023, for the provision of a performance bonus and employee welfare measures. Regular meetings are held with the trade unions.
Right to equal pay for men and women and absence of discrimination+
Any impropriety that undermines the right to equal pay for men and women for equal work is prohibited. The right to equal opportunities must also be respected during recruitment or dismissal and in the case of promotion and training. Any form of discrimination, including exclusion or preference based on race, gender, age, religion, political opinion, nationality or social class is prohibited.
