In light of a commitment to a development that respects social and environmental values, in the desire to improve its performance and its image in a very competitive and dynamic market, the Management of Rivadavia Industria Conciaria, in addition to maintaining constant attention to compliance with the requirements for determining the origin of leather production, through the Management System for Social Responsibility; is committed to preventing pollution, to guaranteeing the safeguarding and protection of the environment and to pursuing continuous improvement of its environmental performance, minimizing the risks related to the activities carried out and the products/services provided, through the adaptation of its Environmental Management System to the standards of the new international standard UNI EN ISO 14001:2015.

In this context, we believe it is necessary to:

• monitor the environmental aspects associated with our activity and that of the companies that operate on our behalf, and the obligations required by the relevant environmental legislation
• define adequate management tools to monitor both the significant environmental aspects and the mandatory legislative obligations.
• communicate to all personnel the importance of complying with the requirements defined by the Customer and those applicable according to the UNI EN 16484 standard "Requirements for determining the origin of leather production".
• continuously improve its ability to monitor the aspects and activities related to the identification and traceability of the raw material - leather.

To achieve the aforementioned goals, we have created an Environmental Management System consistent with the requirements of the ISO 14001 standard, subsequently integrated in compliance with the UNIC Code of Conduct and Social Responsibility, which allows us to:

• have an effective tool to manage activities from both an environmental and ethical and social point of view
• publicly demonstrate commitment to the social issues that affect our workers and with them, all interested parties, and to monitor, and if possible, reduce and improve the environmental impacts associated with our activities
• try, where possible, to spread the "ethical and environmental spirit" to the companies that operate on our behalf
• require suppliers of work that operate on behalf of Rivadavia, through adherence to specific specifications, a targeted commitment to comply with legislative requirements and increase awareness of the environment and social responsibility.

With this document we intend to define and make known to external stakeholders and all internal and external operators of the company the principles that we undertake to follow in the management of our business, namely:
