HSE POLICIES: THE CORNERSTONES OF THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT

QUALITY

Intercon aims at maximum quality and boasts ISO Certifications relating to company management, and product and machine quality standards.

HEALTH & SAFETY

Intercon is careful about the environment and its people. It implements strict waste disposal and water drainage procedures and promotes careful occupational health and safety policies.

ENVIRONMENT

Protecting the environment is a fundamental principle of Intercon’s ethics. It uses photovoltaic panels, green energy suppliers and electric vehicles for in-house transit.

CODE OF ETHICS

Ethics and social impact as fundamental parameters for the Company’s development and growth.

VALUES

Trust and honesty are the values on which Intercon bases its relations with all stakeholders. The construction of high-quality references is based on personal enhancement, transparency of relationships with suppliers, customers and competitors, and also a punctual and precise approach in the provision of services.
The people who work at Intercon are also valued through services aimed at the territory and the community of which they are part. This dynamic is very important and strengthens the trust in the Company.
Even with suppliers and competitors, Intercon builds relationships based on respect and fairness: only through this approach, can high quality standards be guaranteed in the production and delivery of services. Respect for work and deadlines, respect for the supply chain and collaboration in case of subcontracting by a competitor, are the ingredients necessary to achieve a common goal: the satisfaction of all customers.

INTERCON FOR SOCIETY

Intercon is committed to having a positive impact on society, with particular attention to the territory and the community it relates to. The Company guarantees care and services to the people who work inside it every day, but also to the surrounding municipalities and the natural context.
For workers, and for the entire Gazzola community, Intercon has installed AED columns for emergency intervention in strategic positions.
In addition, the Company participates with donations in the support of the Public Assistance of Rivergaro, a town near Gazzola, and guarantees a voluntary transport service for disabled citizens and elderly residents of the Municipality.

INTERCON FOR SPORTS

Intercon and Rugby Lyons:
a great passion and shared values.
