The values of World4All (also W4A) are formalized within the Code of Ethics, whose standards are dictated by a precise social and moral commitment and guide the actions of all those who act on behalf of the company.
However, for Courses with scheduled start dates, the following time conditions apply.
World4all's Code of Ethics is the document that defines the way we intend to do business, a model of behavior toward our employees, partners, clients and all those who come in contact with our facility.
For us, inclusion is an inescapable priority and we work daily so that the term “disability” will one day be conceived as a “new opportunity.”.
By the term “World4all model” we mean the way we relate to our employees and those who come in contact with the company, it is the essence of our doing business and presenting the company and the brand to the domestic and international market, in a distinct and unique way compared to our competitors.
Particular importance is placed on protecting all forms of diversity, which is considered a factor in success.
World4All's Code of Ethics is based on fundamental principles that guide every action and decision within the organization:
To ensure the effective implementation of the Code of Ethics, World4All has implemented the following control mechanisms:
Adoption of the Code of Ethics helps create value for World4All first and foremost in terms of Reputation and Trust. A strong Code of Ethics strengthens corporate reputation and generates trust among customers, suppliers, and stakeholders.

The Code of Ethics is addressed to all those who work in World4All or who, in any case, are related to World4All, in order to make clear and unambiguous the ethical principles from which the “World4All Model” stems.
The Code is the official document that sets forth the ethical principles in which World4All is reflected and by which all must be guided.
The purposes of adopting the Code of Ethics are:
Everyone who works in W4A is familiar with the Code of Ethics and has accepted it at the “relationship initiation” stage; if there is any doubt of interpretation, the Compliance Officer will be able to provide feedback and clarity.
All employees, managers, trainers, administrative, commercial, technical department have read and accepted the code of ethics.
The requirements underlying this Code are not solely legal and economic, but arise from a social and moral commitment that World4All makes.

Each employer has sole ownership of hierarchical and sanctioning power over his or her employees and collaborators.
World4All's directors, managers, and executives, as leaders of their respective teams, have a responsibility to give substance to the values of the Code of Ethics by passionately and consistently promoting the understanding that acting with discipline is imperative.The core values that guide World4All's activities and strategic choices are:

W4A directors, employees and contractors may not make political contributions with funds, property, services or other resources belonging to the Group itself.

World4All establishes relationships with customers, suppliers and collaborators based on criteria of trust, quality, competitiveness, professionalism and respect for fair competition.
In particular, the selection of suppliers and collaborators and the purchase of goods and services are made on the basis of objective parameters (quality, convenience, price, capacity and efficiency) in order to establish a relationship of trust and to avoid agreements with parties whose performance may be questioned with regard to respect for the environment, working conditions and human rights.
