In line with HZM Marmi e Pietre code of ethics and sustainability policy, we achieved yet another milestone in the field of corporate social responsibility and setting the highest standards of ethics in the mineral sector of Pakistan by acquiring the SA 8000:2014 certificate.
SA8000 certification confirms our commitment to upholding the highest standards of ethics and sustainable business development.
This is an important milestone and one that demonstrates our commitment to ethics after having developed corporate social responsibility practices. Compliance with the SA8000 standard means considering the social impact of our business, in addition to the conditions in which our employees, corporate partners and suppliers operate.
The SA8000 Standard is the world’s leading social certification program.
Adopting SA 8000 certification means an organization must consider the social impact of their operations in addition to the conditions under which their employees, partners and suppliers operate.
The SA8000 Standard is based on internationally recognized standards of decent work, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ILO conventions, and national laws.
SA8000 applies a management-systems approach to social performance and emphasizes continual improvement. Elements of the SA8000 includes child labor, forced or compulsory labor, health and safety, freedom of association & right to collective bargaining, discrimination, disciplinary practices, working hours, remuneration and management system.
“I am very proud of the HZM Marmi e Pietre Team, led by Saqib Adenwala, for always operating the company at the highest standards.
The SA 8000:2014 certification is a well deserved recognition on the work they put in every day ensuring the well-being of the the environment, the community in general and more specifically the well-being of each individual who is part of the HZM family.“
