Equality among men and women
We believe in equal access to personal and professional development opportunities based on merit, regardless of gender.
In 2020, we joined Target Gender Equality, a programme designed for the United Nations Global Compact members to accelerate gender equality in companies and promote women’s empowerment. In 2021, we measured our strengths and needs for action (using the Women’s Empowerment Principles Gender Gap Analysis Tool). We increased our score to 68% – compared to a 30% global average and 34% European average.
For the second consecutive year, the Group has been included in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index. In 2022 we obtained an overall score of 71.6%, corresponding to an improvement of 6.8 p.p. compared to the previous year.
Our compensation and benefits policies also reflect our commitment to gender equality. The Group has an overall gender pay gap ratio of 97.6% (where 100% indicates there is no pay gap), standing above 96% in all the countries where we operate.
