SIDO has launched the SIDO TRUSTED PARTNER COMPANY Programme, dedicated to companies that meet the following requirements:

1. They comply with all applicable legislation and, in particular, with Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2017.
2. They adhere to ethical principles of conduct and adopt procedures and practices aimed at preventing unlawful or illegal activities and improving the efficiency, effectiveness and transparency of their operations. They have not been subject to any convictions relating to the administrative liability of legal entities pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/2001, or to equivalent legislation in other countries.
3. They have been annual SIDO Main Sponsors, at Gold level or above, for at least the last three consecutive years, including the current year.
4. They do not carry out, either directly or indirectly, any activity attributable to the so-called “direct-to-consumer” model. This practice consists of offering patients orthodontic treatment with aligners based on a generic prescription and/or a treatment plan prepared by a dentist who has not personally examined the patient.
