Mission

It is the Group's intention to consolidate the relationship of trust with all stakeholders and to pursue its objectives, by harmonizing the interests of each actor involved in compliance with the provisions of the law and the principles of impartiality, reliability, loyalty, fairness and transparency.

Values

The Group has identified some values that guide the effort of each worker, either when acting individually or when participating in collective initiatives:

  • Always act with honesty and moral integrity
  • Be critical of yourself and ask yourself how to improve yourself
  • Be respectful of the organization, enhancing meritocracy
  • Focus on growth and its long-term sustainability
  • Pay attention to safety and the environment
  • Be respectful towards customers

The annual publication of the Sustainability Report leads to the consolidation of such values and confirms the attention to the most up-to-date national and international regulations, already firmly at the basis of PSC’s work practices.

Among the values that guide the Group’s activities, two in particular play a prominent role: respect for the person and for the planet that hosts us. For this reason, the Code of Ethics - updated in 2020 and disseminated in 2021 in all the Group’s business units - makes explicit the support and respect for human rights, in accordance with the UN Universal Declaration. The organization and management model, in compliance with decree-law 231, was also the subject of an update process in 2020, and in 2021 it was implemented in all the sites of PCIT business units.
In both documents, new contents were introduced, developed on the basis of the path taken by PSC towards greater sustainability of its activities. By June 2022, the PCIT Supervisory Body’s audits will be completed and therefore, the model shall be extended to the rest of the Group.
In 2021, although it is not mandatory according to the regulation system, the role of a Group’s energy manager was established with the aim of setting up a plan combining energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, alongside economic and relevant trade agreements.
