Igualdade de gênero: Italtel obtém a certificação italiana UNI/PdR 125:2022

Milão, 21 de novembro de 2024 – A Italtel obteve a Certificação de Igualdade de Gênero de acordo com a UNI/PdR 125:2022, um importante reconhecimento que atesta a validade do caminho percorrido nos últimos anos para criar um ambiente de trabalho mais equitativo, inclusivo e sustentável. A UNI/PdR 125:2022 é a prática de referência por meio da qual o Organismo Italiano de Normalização (UNI) definiu as diretrizes de um sistema de gestão interna para organizações para a igualdade de gênero.

A certificação, emitida pela RINA – uma empresa internacional que oferece serviços de garantia de negócios com referência a padrões regulatórios de sistemas de gestão em TIC e segurança cibernética, saúde e segurança, diversidade e inclusão, agronegócio, transporte e construção verde – atesta a eficácia das políticas da empresa em seis áreas principais: cultura e estratégia, governança, processos de RH, oportunidades de crescimento e inclusão de mulheres na empresa, equidade salarial de gênero, proteção aos pais e equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e profissional.

In line with its sustainability strategy, Italtel has adopted concrete policies in favor of gender equality, striving to make its work environment more equitable and inclusive. The company also promotes a careful work-life balance, offering flexible hours and the possibility of smart working for at least half of the monthly time.

Italtel has an Italtel Group Gender Equality Policy, which expresses a commitment to rejecting and breaking down differences that may impede balanced labor inclusion by implementing actions to foster a collaborative work environment that protects and integrates diversity and gender equality.

In addition, a Speak up Policy has been established that establishes the methods and channels for reporting behavior that conflicts with the principles of its Code of Ethics and, in particular, with the principles that are in the groove of an inclusive culture.

Italtel has also developed a Plan for the Prevention and Treatment of Harassment at Work in which, among other measures, it commits to establishing programs to prevent violence and harassment at work and promote a culture based on respect.

A training course on equality and inclusion involving the entire corporate population, starting with top management, was implemented, as well as an anonymous internal survey on incidents of violence and harassment in the workplace.

In terms of social sustainability initiatives toward its people, Italtel promoted an information campaign through webinars conducted in collaboration with LILT to raise awareness of the importance of cancer prevention for women and men, conducted during October and November 2024.

The company gives voice to its people through the creation of initiatives such as articles and interviews dedicated to telling the story of their career paths, paying attention to aspects of inclusiveness and women’s empowerment, particularly for figures with STEM profiles.

Italtel has always participated in and promoted various initiatives in all the territories and countries where it has its own offices, in Italy and abroad: recently, for example, the Company was involved in the “Claudia! 2.0” project, funded by the Metropolitan City of Milan, to promote female employability and gender equality in the workplace by providing best practices that can guide training policies and improve women’s access to leadership roles and responsibilities.
