Social Responsibility and Certifications

Certifications as a Guarantee of Quality and Ethics

In the world of luxury fashion, excellence is not only about the quality of materials or artisanal mastery, but also about respect for human rights, safety, and the environment.

For this reason, Bitto Srl has chosen to adopt the most authoritative international certifications, such as SA8000:2014, which attest to the company’s commitment to ensuring fair working conditions, responsible production processes, and transparent corporate management.

The Importance of the SA8000 Certification

The SA8000:2014 is an international standard that measures a company’s commitment to human rights, ethics, and social sustainability.
Bitto Srl has adopted this model to ensure fair, safe, and respectful working conditions throughout its entire supply chain — from production to relationships with suppliers.
Compliance is certified by RINA Services S.p.A., an independent accredited body.

Bitto Srl’s Commitment

Our company applies the principles of the SA8000 standard in concrete ways, including:

  • Prohibition of child and forced labour: both internally and across the supplier chain;
  • Health and safety protection: accident prevention, continuous training, and medical supervision (in compliance with Legislative Decree 81/08);
  • Freedom of association and collective bargaining: full recognition of workers’ rights with no retaliation;
  • Equality and inclusion: zero discrimination, enhancement of individual skills, and respect for dignity;
  • Fair pay and working hours: always in line with the applicable national collective labour agreement (CCNL);
  • Responsible suppliers: selection and monitoring of partners who share the same ethical principles.
