Corporate Social Responsibility

A few years ago we heard about something called “Corporate Social Responsibility”; Probably many of you have heard about it, but some others may have not.

The origin was probably the complaint of many ONGs to large multinationals that manufactured their products without any scruples, under inhuman conditions. 

These complaints pushed these large companies to ensure that all their business related products were manufactured under right conditions. 

The development of these aspects demonstrated that if a company wanted to have good reputation, it could not only aim to manufacture their products and earn money. In their hands they had the possibility of making the world a little bit better.

The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility raised from these aspects. A modern company could not only stick to produce and earn money, but it must also contribute to make the world a better place. 

Therefore, even though Fama is a small company, we consider ourselves responsible and we think that we can contribute with our little support to improve many aspects or our world.

We carried out a study to analyse the impact of our business action outside the strictly commercial area, and we found the various aspects in which we could contribute.

From the commitment to the environment (more than 92% of our waste is recycled), the support to sport and culture (we collaborate with the local theatre and also sponsor a child basketball team), the rejection of the use of raw materials or works under inhuman conditions, or simply creating stable and quality jobs.   

We created a list of 10 Basic Principles to which we commit. They are something intrinsic to the basis of our company. For us it is really nice to associate words like culture, sport, environment, honesty and happiness to the world of business
