Social Accountability is one of the largest investments Capuani has made in recent years.

Capuani´s concept of Social Accountability appears in its mission statement and occupies an outstanding position in its strategic planning, since the company regards social responsibility as one of the most important activities in modern society. Capuani takes the view that it is not enough just to prevent discrimination and help those most in need but efforts should also be made to promote equality and income generation, creating more responsible citizens. Confirmation of Capuani´s commitment is seen in its approach to SA8000 certification which deals with social accountability . All the measures the company has adopted in relation to Safety and the Environment, as well as good manufacturing practices and its human resources policies, are in line with the SA8000 principles.
