Employee safety

Fabbri 1905 is committed to creating a "culture of safety" in its employees and the people who work on its behalf. Among the levers identified for the pursuit of these objective is constant monitoring of risks, the assessment of environmental aspects and hazard factors when designing new activities, processes, products and facilities, training and empowerment of personnel, raising awareness of suppliers and employees and researching the best available technologies for prevention and protection.

Fabbri 1905 has a safety management system in place that ensures the assessment of workplace risks through a systematic process of analysis of activities and tasks (weekly EHS audits). Employees are trained in occupational health and safety and education and training is provided on specific topics such as: use of PPE, handling hazardous substances, fire emergency plan and training and education for new employees.

The occupational accident rate is 0.08% for an IF index of 21.9 calculated as the ratio of the total number of accidents to the total number of hours worked, using a multiplication factor of 1.000.000. No cases of occupational diseases have been recorded also in 2022.

Skill development

At Fabbri, people are our greatest asset. Training is not only a tool to enrich people's employment opportunities, but also a lever to support organizational integration and change management. That is why the company invests in the development and consolidation of the professional and managerial competence system through:

1. dedicated training and development programs, including on-the-job training

2. forms of Job rotation

3. company placement paths with internship projects agreed upon with Universities

4. Sales Academy for in-house sales staff and company partners

5. continuous digital training for employees, and Training Schools to improve internal technical

6. identification of key figures among the company's resources for the development and implementation of computer programs

Diversity among employees

In keeping with the Code of Ethics, Fabbri 1905 respects the dignity of each individual and offers equal opportunities in all aspects of the employment relationship, among the activities carried out by Fabbri there are: transparent and non-discriminatory management of recruitment and the overall selection process (anonymous graphical analysis); training made equally accessible to all staff.

Gender diversity is a priority for Fabbri 1905, we seek to provide talented women with opportunities to maximize their potential with the aim of engaging women in middle management and supporting them in exploring more managerial careers.

Impact on communities

For Fabbri, one of the keys to the company's success is its ability to keep its ties to the local area intact and alive, focusing on its people and their quality of life.

Women's empowerment and social integration

The focus on the female component thus goes back to the very beginning and has been realised over the years through two projects supporting entrepreneurship and employment:

Lady Amarena, since 2015 the only international competition reserved for female bartenders from every corner of the planet;
The professional course in artisanal ice cream making reserved for incarcerated mothers as part of Soroptimist International's “Si sostiene” project.

Research support

Since 2015, Fabbri has supported AIL (the nonprofit Italian Association against Leukemia-Lymphoma and Myeloma):

Cockt-AIL, the first travelling benefit competition for bartenders, was launched;
Contribution to Italian research “The Bitter Taste of Leukemia”;
Support AIL's Christmas and Easter campaigns with Amarena Fabbri Panettoni and Colombe.

Finally, Fabbri 1905 has always been close to Fondazione ANT Italia Onlus, the largest non-profit organisation in Italy providing free specialist home assistance to cancer patients.

Community support activities

Fabbri has had deep roots in the Bologna area since its foundation. In 2022, the street artist Cheone created a mural on the walls of Fabbri 1905's historic headquarters in Borgo Panigale, a tribute to the district that has safeguarded the company's soul for over one hundred years. In order to provide a service to the city community, the company has undertaken to cover the surface of the work with an innovative, Italian high-tech product: Airlite Hystoriqa. In addition to protecting the mural, this compound is able to purify the air of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx).

Support for communities abroad

Fabbri supports communities not only in Italy, but also abroad. In particular, Fabbri supported the opening of Cremedoce De Fronteira, a gelato shop and training centre in Ressano Garcia, a small town in Mozambique on the border with South Africa.
