workplace. These range from taking employees’
temperature before they enter the workplace
to regular sanitisation; from the distribution
of masks to employees to a supplementary
healthcare system (see the box titled
“Safeguarding health in the fight against the spread
of COVID-19” in Chapter 2, para 2.4 “Safeguarding
the health and safety of employees”)

In addition to the issue of safeguarding health,
the Ratti Group has implemented a number
of initiatives aimed at facilitating distance
relationships with its customers and suppliers.

The company has set up and equipped new
multimedia rooms at the Guanzate site, the aim
being to enable users to work and communicate
in a way that maximises speed, the use of
multimedia, and professionalism.
Remote access to its offer, as well as to the Ratti
environment, has been made possible thanks
to the use of HoloLens2 smartglasses, offering
an experience of great emotional impact (see
Chapter 3, paragraph 3.3 “The drive towards
innovation as a response to the Coronavirus”)

Ratti has also reflected on its products and has
also installed metal-free anti-bacterial finishing
which is effective on silk, cotton and nylon fabrics.
The project was born out of a proposal made
by Ratti as a response to the health emergency
and complies with the ZDHC (Zero Discharge of
Hazardous Chemicals) protocol.

Not least, Ratti has also decided to take action
from a social point of view, seeking to assist those
organisations that are most committed on the
health emergency front.
In this regard it has earmarked 250,000 euros
for the Fondazione Provinciale della Comunità
Comasca ONLUS (non-profit organisation) for the
acquisition of machinery and tools needed in the
area of health, it has donated 200m of fabric to
the Associazione SoS Varese for the production
of masks for civil use and, finally, it has reached
an agreement with Talking Hands, a permanent
fashion, design and innovation workshop which
has brought together a group of refugee asylum
seekers to produce masks (see Chapter 5,
paragraph 5.3 “Partnerships that do good”)
