We are pleased to share an important achievement: the semi-announced SA8000 audit was successfully completed with no non-conformities. Only two minor recommendations and two improvement opportunities emerged — elements we gladly welcome as valuable chances for growth.
A result that reflects the daily commitment, professionalism, and collaboration of all the people at Maddalena Spa.
What is SA8000 certification and why is it so important?
SA8000 is an international standard that promotes workers’ rights and the continuous improvement of working conditions. It is not just a certification, but a true ethical management system, built on key principles:
➡ Human and workers’ rights: protection against exploitation, discrimination, child labor, and all forms of abuse.
➡ Health and safety in the workplace: safe environments, monitored processes, and constant prevention to ensure everyone’s well-being.
➡ Continuous improvement: every audit is an opportunity to grow, not just a formality to pass.
➡ Shared responsibility: SA8000 is part of daily life and requires the active commitment of the entire company community.
Listening and transparency: concrete tools
One of the key strengths of this standard is the possibility for all employees and collaborators to anonymously submit suggestions or reports related to the SA8000 Management System.
Reports submitted through the Reporting Form are received by the workers’ representatives of the Social Performance Team. Maddalena S.p.A. guarantees the utmost confidentiality regarding the contents of the reports and fully respects the right to remain anonymous.
The Social Performance Team (SPT) is responsible for the implementation and monitoring of the SA8000 standard requirements within the organization. This group, made up of a balanced representation of both management and workers, is tasked with monitoring activities, collecting reports and suggestions, promoting internal dialogue, and actively contributing to the continuous improvement of working conditions.
A result that speaks about who we are
The positive outcome of this audit is not only a confirmation of the good practices implemented within Maddalena SpA, but also an invitation to continue growing together with dedication, responsibility, and awareness.
A sincere thank you goes to everyone who showed availability and collaboration, even during the interviews and individual meetings conducted by the Auditors, confirming how deeply the culture of sustainability and respect is rooted in our company.
SA8000 is not just a certification: it is a daily commitment that makes us stronger.
