Proef adopted the BCSD - Business Council for Sustainable Development - Portugal Charter of Principles, a document defining the guidelines for a proper business management.
The Charter of Principles took inspiration from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ILO’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the United Nations Global Compact. The goal is to create a volunteer benchmark adapted to different-dimensioned companies, encouraging them to continually follow sustainable management practices, based on six principles:
(1) Legal Compliance & Ethical Culture
(2) Human Rights
(3) Employment Rights
(4) Prevention, Health, and Safety
(5) Environment
(6) Management
This becomes, therefore, a means to encourage subscribers to go beyond legal compliance, taking on accredited rules and practices in line with management, ethical, social, environmental, and quality standards, in any context of the global economy.
By ratifying the Charter of Principles, Proef acknowledges sustainable management as a competitive factor.
