Gender Equality

Commitment and Attention towards the Protection of Diversity

Demont wants to promote a culture that is increasingly attentive to gender equality. For this reason, it obtained the UNI PDR 125:2022 certification, demonstrating once again its commitment and its attention to the protection of diversity.

This voluntary certification process represents:

  • a significant step towards creating a fair and inclusive work environment, where every individual has equal opportunities for professional growth and development, regardless of gender;
  • a starting point towards the promotion of a culture that increasingly recognizes women’s added value in business, including in the engineering industry.

The objectives included in the Corporate Strategy Plan, set out in the Corporate Policy on Gender Equality, concern:

  • Staff’s recruitment and selection,
  • career management,
  • parenthood’s protection,
  • work-life balance,
  • the use of an inclusive and non-discriminatory language,
  • ZERO TOLERANCE about any abuse and harassment in the workplace.

Gender Equality

Our Concrete Commitment

We work closely with organizations and consultants to ensure that our path towards the certification will be solid and sustainable through time.

We want to make sure that every step we make contributes to building a future in which gender equality is a tangible reality.

One of our goals is to inspire other organisations to actively pursue a cultural change that will lead to the achievement of an effective gender equality in the workplace.

The road is challenging, but we believe that together we can make a difference and create a fairer working environment for all.

Our Focus

Protection of the Person

The person, its dignity, the promotion of the values of diversity, inclusion and gender equality are at the heart of our management system.

Gender Equality Committee

It is the body we have established to ensure compliance with the Practice; Its task is to manage and resolve different situations and promote continuous improvement.

Communication

We’ve planned a communication plan that highlights gender equality’s matter aimed to achieve a greater consciousness.

Our Policy

We wanted to promote the values of diversity, inclusion and gender equality by setting up targets and related actions to remove all forms of discrimination in the workplace. This policy has been shared with both our staff and external collaborators.

We’ve drawn up a detailed Strategic Plan that sets out the specific and measurable results that we want to achieve related to:

  • selection and recruitment,
  • career management,
  • parenting and caring,
  • reconciliation of work-life balance,
  • prevention of harassment at work.

We also developed a dedicated Gender Equality Management System to measure, report and evaluate data in order to fill the existing gender gap.

The goal is to achieve compliance by satisfying specific KPI’s for each of the following areas:

  • culture and strategy,
  • governance,
  • HR processes,
  • opportunities for growth,
  • fair pay,
  • parenting.
