Recognition of Certottica’s ethical conduct

Certottica has been awarded the maximum score in the Legality Rating, meaning that it is publicly recognized as one of the most exemplary Italian companies as regards ethical conduct. The Legality Rating is an innovative tool introduced by the Italian Competition Authority (ICA) in accordance with the Italian Ministries of the Interior and Justice, whose function is to introduce and promote ethical and legal conduct by companies. Adopting a virtual system of recognition (based on stars, where one is the lowest and three the highest), the Rating evaluates respect for legality and measures the company’s level of dedication to correct and principled business management. It also controls the way in which the organization stores the marks awarded to companies, for the attribution of financing by public authorities and for access to bank credit.
