VISION
We are convinced that it is possible to regenerate natural resources, achieve climate neutrality, promote economic growth, foster social inclusion and ensure equitable and widespread prosperity in the communities in which we operate.
We are committed to making our processes increasingly environmentally friendly and efficient, minimising resource consumption and maximising the value of our waste. We are dedicated to producing innovative and environmentally friendly products and services in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Agenda.

MISSION
We are passionate about circularity and the awareness that metals, being permanent materials, are never consumed but continuously transformed.
We design and manufacture machines and plants equipped with constantly evolving technologies for processing scrap metal, so that the recycling world can benefit from effective solutions for the recovery, recycling and reuse of metals, a veritable “mine” of raw materials available to future generations.

In pursuit of its corporate mission, Zato Spa is committed to:

1. Ensure a safe and healthy workplace for all stakeholders
2. Develop its processes with constant attention to the continuous improvement of the effectiveness of the management systems adopted, providing for the use of the best available and economically compatible technology, also with a view to improving its environmental performance and protecting the environment
3. Comply with laws and regulations on the environment and health and safety in the workplace
4. Promote continuous staff training/information and education to consolidate a culture of individual and collective behaviour aimed at protecting the environment and health and consolidating safety, as moral duties towards colleagues, the community and the local area.
5. Provide the human and instrumental resources necessary to achieve the objectives
6. Assess in advance the impact on the environment and on the health and safety of employees of all new activities and all new products and processes;
7. Ensure cooperation with public authorities to establish and update emergency procedures in order to minimise the effects of an emergency with consequent accidental impact on the surrounding environment.
8. Put in place measures to ensure that contractors working on site on behalf of the company operate in accordance with our health and safety principles.

Senior management defines and periodically reviews the objectives, the management system implemented and the Integrated Policy, according to the following guidelines:

• Strengthen and develop the current market position by creating products with characteristics that meet the growing needs and expectations of customers;
• improve the efficiency and effectiveness of environmental and health and safety processes and performance;
• consolidate the functionality of the organisation, making it flexible to respond promptly to customers and stakeholders and to monitor the progress of objectives.

To achieve these objectives, it is essential to involve and consult all staff, including through their safety representatives: responsibility for management lies with the entire company organisation, from the employer to the individual worker, each according to their own duties and skills.

Zato Spa therefore trusts that all staff will continue to show commitment and cooperation, with the professionalism they have already demonstrated, in order to achieve the strategic objectives set.
Zato Spa has developed an Integrated Quality, Environment and Health and Safety Policy, set out in its Vision and Mission, in order to define the objectives and principles of action to satisfy customers, prevent significant accidents and injuries, and protect the health and safety of workers and the environment.

The Company’s business is based on an effective internal control system, which allows the company to be run ethically and consistently with its objectives, through an adequate process of managing the main risks, capable of creating lasting value for shareholders and all stakeholders.

Zato has always been committed to operating in full compliance with the values of integrity and transparency that are the essence of our company culture and that everyone must know and respect. In the same way, it is essential for us to share the path taken by the Company with the outside world, to show you how we intend to carry on the business, continuing to invest in the growth of a culture of compliance.

Zato has adopted a system for managing reports – including anonymous reports, provided they are adequately detailed – relating to unlawful or illegal conduct.

Reports can be made in writing or orally, using the methods described in the Whistleblowing Policy and aimed at guaranteeing confidentiality regarding the identity of the whistleblower. Reports will be handled by the Company’s Supervisory Body.

Whistleblowers acting in good faith are protected from any form of discrimination, retaliation or penalisation, and the correct fulfilment of the duty to report cannot determine the establishment of disciplinary proceedings, nor the application of the relative sanctions. The adoption of the aforementioned system does not preclude, in any case, the reporting of any violations of laws or government regulations to the competent authority.

The Organisational Model, the Code of Ethics and the Policy, designed to inspire and guide the behaviour of Zato’s staff and all our stakeholders, are at your disposal.
