HUMAN CAPITAL, OUR PRIMARY RESOURCE

Human capital is the form of income that is most valuable to the Group's growth and success. Investing in people, talent and knowledge is the key to tackling every challenge together with a community that shares the same values and goals.

Market scenarios necessitate constant refreshment of skills and management of internal human resource training consistent with business objectives and strategic vision to create a consolidated body of expertise and experience. Within this framework, professional, managerial and technical training will have an increasingly fundamental role to play in realizing individuals' full potential, in order to ensure that their skills always keep pace with the scenarios imposed on us by international markets and that product quality continues to improve.

The training activities organized by Group companies vary according to the professional specificities of the employee community. The main courses currently fall into the following categories:

• quality: training initiatives designed to equip personnel with the skills they need to achieve, maintain and improve the quality standards set at the Group level;
• health and safety: training intended to improve the workplace safety management system and in particular to guarantee that all the necessary measures are taken to protect the health and safety of every worker, whatever work they do in the company.
• technical and professional: this includes training initiatives designed to provide and refresh technical, professional and/or general cultural skills.
