Introduction:
This policy is intended to promote a healthy and safe work environment, free from violence and harassment. According to Law 4808/2021, which regulates the prevention and combating of violence and harassment in the workplace, the employer is obliged to implement specific measures to prevent and protect employees.
This policy is part of compliance with that law and commits all employees and company management to act consistently and decisively against violence and harassment.
