Ethics, Compliance, and Industrial Excellence at ONA EDM
Ethics, Compliance, and Industrial Excellence at ONA EDM
In the electrical discharge machining (EDM) sector, technological precision, process reliability, and final product quality are essential elements. However, in an increasingly demanding industrial environment, these factors must be accompanied by responsible management based on ethics, transparency, and regulatory compliance. At ONA EDM, this commitment is an integral part of the way we understand business and build relationships with customers, employees, and industrial partners.
A certified and constantly evolving compliance system
ONA EDM has a Criminal Compliance Management System certified in accordance with the UNE 19601 standard, the Spanish benchmark in this field. This certification confirms the existence of an effective model designed to prevent criminal risks and strengthen a culture of compliance throughout the organization.
In July of last year, the company successfully passed the certification follow-up audit, which verified the correct application of the system and the extension of its scope to include additive manufacturing activities. This expansion reflects ONA EDM’s commitment to adapting its Compliance System to business evolution and the integration of new technologies, embedding compliance naturally into its industrial activity.
Criminal Compliance Policy
ONA EDM’s Criminal Compliance Policy reflects the organization’s firm commitment to zero tolerance for criminal risk and to ethical, responsible conduct. Its objective is clear: to proactively prevent, detect, and manage any conduct that may pose a criminal risk to the company or its employees, in accordance with the requirements established in the UNE 19601 standard.
This commitment is based on a set of simple, practical principles fully integrated into the organization’s day-to-day operations:
- Compliance with applicable legislation, especially in the criminal sphere.
- Identification of risks and the express prohibition of criminal conduct.
- Implementation of control and prevention measures integrated into company processes.
- Existence of confidential and secure internal communication channels, free from reprisals.
- Supervision of the system by an internal Compliance Committee.
- Continuous training and a clear disciplinary regime in the event of non-compliance.
Through this approach, compliance is consolidated as an essential tool for responsible decision-making, fully aligned with ONA EDM’s values.
The Code of Ethics as a shared reference
At ONA EDM, the Code of Ethics defines the principles and values that guide the behavior of the entire organization. It is a clear reference for professional conduct and is mandatory for everyone, regardless of position or responsibility.
More than just a document, it is a key guide for daily decision-making.
“The Code of Ethics is our hallmark and a clear guide for acting with integrity every day,” ONA EDM emphasizes.
People and culture as drivers of compliance
Beyond rules and procedures, compliance is built on people. At ONA EDM, our ethical culture is grounded in values that shape the way we work and interact:
- Integrity and transparency: Commitment to ethics, truthfulness, and legal responsibility. We promote professionalism based on honesty and the absolute rejection of malpractice.
- Customer focus: Priority given to understanding customer needs in order to build relationships based on trust. The goal is to act as an agile technology partner that adds value and consistently fulfills its commitments.
- Flexibility: A proactive approach to challenges and innovative market solutions, supported by coordinated and structured creativity rather than improvisation.
- Teamwork: Proactive cooperation and mutual respect to achieve shared objectives, based on knowledge sharing, disciplined responsibility, and empathy among colleagues.
- Pursuit of excellence: A daily effort to exceed expectations across products, processes, and environmental management. Quality is seen as the foundation of success and profitability as the guarantee of long-term continuity.
- Pride of belonging: A strong sense of satisfaction and authenticity in being part of the organization, always acting with respect for the environment, colleagues, and competitors.
This approach strengthens team engagement and helps consolidate a working environment built on trust, respect, and responsibility.
In short, compliance has become a strategic pillar at ONA EDM, with a comprehensive approach that extends across its entire value chain.
