Our Corporate Social Responsibility
DomusVi is directly committed to the society where it operates. This corporate social responsibility permeates everything we do wherever we are. We have launched engagement protocols for use with institutions, workers, clients, family members, suppliers and society in general to satisfy their expectations, to add value to our work and boost efficiency.
To make all this work, we have set up a company-wide Corporate Social Responsibility Committee that applies this philosophy to all policy areas: Human resources, marketing, operations, computer systems, communication, legal quality department, financial department, etc.
DomusVi publishes an annual report of activities that includes the corporate responsibility report which has been given the highest possible rating “A+” of the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative).
