We are a multiregional group that operates in territories with different and articulated needs. Human resources are considered as a constant factor for the Company growth and the enhancement of human capital has always been one of the pillars of the Company’s competitive development.
The “glocal” approach, which combines a global vision with that of local cultures, has contributed to the growth of the Company.
We are committed to create a safe working environment, in which different personal and cultural orientations are considered a resource, a basis of mutual enrichment and an element of growth.
The goal of being socially responsible passes through the application of strict rules of ethical behavior, founded on the engagement of employees and on the centrality of the person, as well as the pursuit of fair pay.

We are committed to ensuring that in every Country in which we operate, not only local regulations related to working conditions are respected, but also the skills and the professional growth of all employees are enhanced.
The skills and expertise of our people, particularly from a technical point of view, are fundamental in the continuous growth and development of our company.
Encouraging the dialogue among people of different ages is another key aspect of our plurality: in recent years, initiatives have been launched to promote intergenerational exchange and to transfer senior employees’ know-how to new generations. In addition, annual plans are underway to identify potential resources being suitable to be part of succession planning programs.
Training activities are selected based on the needs emerging at a country level. The main categories of activities are confirmed: health and safety, environment, management systems, cement and concrete technology, project management, IT tools and foreign languages.

Throughout the selection process, we guarantee non-discrimination on grounds of gender, race, nationality, political and religious orientation, social condition. Moreover, the Company pursues and respects criteria of professionalism suitable for the position searched, making use of adequate and consolidated tools and techniques in the selection process.

Our approach to remuneration is consolidated within the governance of all the countries in which we work and is aligned with the most recent regulatory provisions. It is linked to the performance, the market context, the alignment with business strategies and the interests of the main stakeholders.
Our remuneration policy contributes to the goal of attracting, retaining, and motivating qualified people capable of building our competitive advantage.
Through adequate remuneration and incentive mechanisms, we are committed to creating a high-quality inclusive work environment, based on the multiple strategic skills and capable of encouraging individual expression.
