Philosophy

“There is no value in any industrial enterprise unless there is also commitment to social progress.”
(Aristide Merloni, 1967).

This is Indesit Company’s philosophy, the spirit that has guided it in all its decisions and continues to be its inspiration everyday. A deep sense of social and environmental responsibility permeates every aspect of Indesit Company’s industrial policy, translating into a commitment to fostering social well being in all the communities where it works. In practice, this means creating and maintaining conditions that favour socially responsible conduct in every sphere of activity.
