Injecta is fully aware of the economic and social role it plays in the context in which it operates; for this reason, it is increasingly committed to improving the working conditions of its staff, who are an integral part of the organisation, with total respect for their dignity and freedom.
Senior management is convinced that through its commitment and thus the implementation of a social responsibility system, it can progressively disseminate principles, ethical and social values to all stakeholders inside and outside the organisation. With this in mind, Injecta considers employees and collaborators its greatest resource, guarantees their rights and supports their professional and personal development. It also considers its suppliers to be fundamental both for the realisation of the quality of its products and services and for the achievement of social equity objectives. Through this Social Responsibility Policy, Injecta is committed to:

- Comply with laws, provisions, international recommendations and their interpretations officially issued by the human rights bodies (ILO - UN);
In order to achieve its objectives, the company is committed to disseminating the principles of social responsibility, internally to all employees and collaborators, thanks also to the support of the Workers' Representative for SA 8000, externally to its suppliers and sub-suppliers and all stakeholders.
