We believe in color wellness, we believe that color is life.
Our values
The elements that drive our corporate identity
Respect
The core value of our company is respect, and caring for people is the key to the success of our work. Through the efforts of four generations, we have established strong and honest relationships with our customers, employees, partners and all stakeholders who have been and continue to be a part of our reality. This social responsibility is felt as much as our environmental responsibility, and we demonstrate this through our commitment to improving the ecological footprint we have on the world through our manufacturing operations and product offerings.
Persistence
We are a historic company that has always been determined to pursue our goals with persistence and unwavering commitment. Our business strategy is distinguished by our ability to offer products that can stand the test of time, combining together technology, tradition and quality to best meet the challenges that the market places before us every day.
Dinamicity
We know that change is the order of the day. We believe that the adaptability and flexibility, which we offer to our clients, have proven our professional vocation over the years. The engine that drives us to grow every day is our ability to achieve the goals we set and our determination to find appropriate and innovative solutions.
Training
We know that to carry out the company's many projects in an ever-growing world, people are the key to success; therefore, we believe that training is essential in this process.
Every employee has the opportunity to grow professionally through paths that deal with both issues related to the development of their soft skills and with topics for the development of technical skills, specific to their sector or department, not forgetting specific training on occupational safety issues, a topic that is very close to our hearts.
Wellbeing
Our wellbeing plan is based on a strong corporate commitment to protect and improve the interest of our employees. We try to offer them the best solutions to ensure a good work-life balance.
Our initiatives include various welfare solutions and a second-level agreement with measures to protect workers' health, such as paid medical visits. We offer flexibility with smart working and support for parenting, through: baby bonuses, paid leave for children's medical visits, extended paternity leave and additional days of smart working for new parents. Furthermore, thanks to benefits and agreements with local retailers, our employees can purchase goods and services at a more advantageous market price.
Among the most appreciated actions is a budget completely available to employees, for the organization of extra-work activities that encourage a sense of community and sharing among colleagues, to create an environment of collaboration and belonging that also extends to family and friends.
We are Great Place to Work® certified
For the second consecutive year, we are Great Place to Work® certified, this recognition rewards organizations that, following internal surveys, stand out for an excellent level of corporate atmosphere.
People who work at ARD know that they can count on values such as sharing and collaboration. We are a family company that cares about everyone's well-being. The fact that we have been recognized for this ability to create a supportive, positive and open working environment makes us very proud.
This sense of loyalty and mutual support has also been recognized by the most operational figures in our company, so much so that we are included in the ranking of the ten best Best Workplaces™ for Blue Collar 2023. In 2024, we returned to the ranking again, further improving our position and reaching the fifth position in the ranking, demonstrating our ongoing commitment.
Celebrating the achievement of these awards, we feel even stronger the motivation that drives us to improve the condition of all our employees and to give ever greater shape and impetus to social responsibility issues.
