UNI – Ente Italiano di Normazione – is the Italian National Standards Body notified by the Italian State to the European Commission pursuant to EU Regulation No. 1025/2012, implemented by Legislative Decree No. 223/2017.

UNI proposes different association formulas: individual, small enterprise, large enterprise, public body, association, trade union, NGO. As recommended by EU Regulation 1025/2012, UNI does its utmost to involve SMEs and all ‘weak’ stakeholders in standardisation.

The Central Technical Commission (CCT) is the highest technical commission of the Body and coordinates standardisation work.

The Federated Bodies, on the basis of a Federation Convention with UNI, carry out standardisation activities each for the sector of their competence at national, European and international level.

Regulations for the carrying out of standardisation activities by the UNI system.

The Report illustrates the economic, environmental and social impacts of our activities towards our stakeholders, using as references the GRI standards and the fundamental themes of UNI EN ISO 26000 on social responsibility that we have adopted as our governance model.

The Financial Budget for the year, prepared in accordance with the 4th EC Directive (and the additional Note prepared in accordance with Article 2423 of the Italian Civil Code) relates to both UNI’s institutional and commercial activities.

In the spirit of Legislative Decree 231/2001 “Disciplina della responsabilità amministrativa delle persone giuridiche, delle società e delle associazioni anche prive di personalità giuridica” (Regulation on the administrative liability of legal persons, companies and associations, including those without legal personality), UNI ensures fairness and transparency in the conduct of business and activities. For this reason, it has developed and implemented its own Organisational Model 231. The Model is integrated with the rules of the organisation and with the initiatives adopted according to the social responsibility model.

The Codes of Conduct establish the basic rules of behaviour required from suppliers and members of UNI Technical Bodies, in application of the general principles defined in UNI 231 Organisational Model.

What is indicated in the Codes is integrated by the specific provisions contained in the documents applicable to specific relationships, such as contracts, regulations and procedures.

UNI’s People Ethics Charter is our reference system. It identifies organisational principles and values, describes what they mean to us and how they are implemented in UNI. It is our guide to guarantee well made things in our daily operations.

The Ethics Charter is part of UNI’s People Integrity Infrastructure.

The Deontological Charter outlines the rules part of UNI’s Integrity Infrastructure. Its purpose is to prevent behaviour that is deemed unacceptable, also describing some specific types of integrity violations – illustrative and not exhaustive. With these rules, we always know how to act in situations that are covered by the rules of the Deontological Charter: unlike the value part – the Ethical Charter – no dilemmas or doubts can arise as to how to behave when the case is regulated.

Following a long-established path of consistency, we have decided – on the subject of diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities – to follow our own guidelines.

The objective is that envisaged by the UNI/PdR 125:2022 practice: to verify the state of the art and close any existing gaps; to confirm (with indicators in hand) that we have incorporated the gender equality paradigm; to produce a sustainable and lasting change over time.

Our Occupational Health and Safety policy adopts UNI EN ISO 26000 as its governance model.
This means acting in accordance with legal rules, deontological and ethical principles.
