SIDE BY SIDE WITH SOCIETY


SIDE BY SIDE WITH SOCIETY


[SO1, SO.a, SO.b, SO.c, SO.d, SO.g] Fluidra is an international company whose expansion has led it to set up operations in a number of countries and to become involved in their realities by maintaining a close and ongoing dialogue with local communities and society in general.


Therefore, many of Fluidra’s employees are members of and work for associations involved in the world of the swimming pool and water treatment. They contribute to the drawing up of guidelines and standards that aim to ensure that our products foster a sustainable environment.


In accordance with the Group’s guidelines, the managers of our companies are responsible for ensuring that employees are aware of the impact that their actions have on a day-to- day basis when they deal with their colleagues, superiors or subordinates, the external organisations that they work with, the public authorities, the environment and, in gene- ral, society and their local communities. [SO.e]


All companies work based on the principles of transparency and independence in their dealings with local communities and public entities, in order to offer the best service possi- ble without entering into conflict with other parties. None of the companies that belong to the Fluidra Group have any kind of relationship with political parties or lobbying. [SO5, SO6]


Fluidra is committed to working with society in a way that goes beyond its business activities and this is reflected in its involvement in a wide range of seminars, events, charities and sponsorships. The Group is thus committed to giving something back to the community.


• In October, Xavier Tintoré, the CFO, represented the com- pany at a symposium on internationalisation that was held in Reus, at which he discussed the procedures Fluidra follows in its bid to internationalise operations.


• In September, Ignacio Elburgo, Fluidra’s managing director for North-East Europe, the Middle East and Africa, talked about Fluidra’s experiences in South Africa at the Third Emerging Markets Forum: Sub-Saharan Africa, organised by the APD.

In 2011, Fluidra’s senior management and employees dis- played their knowledge of the sector and of the world of business by taking part in the following talks and seminars:


• In May, Pere Ballart, Fluidra’s managing director for the Pa- cific & America, took part in a seminar about internationa- lisation held at the ESADE business school.
