A SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE STRATEGY TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE’S WELL-BEING

For several years, Coem has forged relationships and carried out projects with schools and universities, promoting the growth of young people and the development of synergies between the business world and education. Among the many initiatives is the organisation of guided tours inside the plants, aimed at middle and high school students from the Academy of Fine Arts and Cerform, with the aim of showing them the world of ceramics through all the stages of its production processes. The company has made its contribution to the new 2nd level master's degree course in Ceramic Enterprise and Technology, which came about through the collaboration between UNIMORE and UNIBO universities and the sector associations Confindustria Ceramica and Federchimica Ceramicolor. In 2022 two curricular internships were organised with secondary schools. Coem is also a member of the Association for Industrial Design (ADI), in which it actively participates by hosting events at its headquarters. The company collaborates with various designers, organises meetings on site to better understand their work and carries out new forms of co-marketing with companies in the furnishing sector to integrate ceramic surfaces into some of their products.

OUR COMMITMENT
TO THE SOCIAL CONTEXT

In 2022 promoted and financially supported many initiatives involving various types of associations and entities, continuing collaborations in progress for a number of years.
Our strategy is aimed at understanding and satisfying the needs of workers not only in their work environment, but also developing programmes that can create wellbeing in the communities to which they belong. To this end, we have set up a long-term course of action focused on social wellbeing, education and protection of our artistic and cultural heritage.

Wellbeing and the involvement of employees

We aim for working environments in which each person can develop their talent and we encourage values such as respect, collaboration and inclusion, and which promote equal opportunity. We believe that the creation of a welcoming working environment and support measures with a view to corporate welfare are factors that help the company to grow and stimulate innovative ideas and the
he resourcefulness of all staff.

Training and skills development

A central element of Coem’s way of doing business is the training and professional updating of its staff, which is necessary to achieve improvement objectives at production, management and commercial level.
Our strategy aims to understand and meet the needs of workers not only in their working environment, but also by developing programmes that can foster personal growth. We collaborate with trade unions, international organisations and civil society, developing specific training courses and awareness programmes on issues such as sustainability, safety and design research.

Health and safety at work

Since 2015, the company has implemented, maintained and certified an integrated occupational health and safety management system that complies with the main international reference standards. We strive to ensure that workers are protected from existing risks to their safety, health and occupational well-being within our plants and offices. 

Friendly workspaces to motivate inventiveness and progress

We believe that motivating and empowering employees is necessary to achieve the company’s objectives and in particular its goals of sustainability.
Our focus is to provide working environments in which each person can develop their talents and we encourage values such as respect and dialogue. We believe that the creation of a friendly work space and supportive corporate welfare actions are factors that help the company to grow and stimulate the innovative ideas and resourcefulness of all employees.
