association policy
I imaginge this is about an association rather than a company, but the context will make that clear.

: Didn't you see my note, Jim? - "Societario" is also widely used.

Not before I posted this. Reason I posted was because I can't ever remember "associativo" as and adjective for a company. "Sociale" is the adjective generally used.

Comment: "Many thanks Jim, it does relate to an association rather than a company, and I agree, it would normally have been "sociale" for a company. Thanks again."

company policy (statement)
It doesn't look like a technical term.
"Associativo" is just an attributive form of "società" and "indirizzo" is a general term meaning "orientation" or "policy".
Of course, the "ufficio competente" may have its own technical term for specific policy statements on tyre disposal.
FWIW

Depending on what body it is that's drafting the tyre-disposal protocol (there's another possibility!), you may want to substitute "company" with something else such as "association".
