We foster a policy of engagement with the community, helping to promote the development and well-being of the communities in which we operate. We are committed to Diversity and Inclusion as key differentiators and drivers of innovation, team performance and motivation, and the engagement of our people, ensuring opportunities for growth in a safe and inclusive environment.

We guarantee equal opportunities through a policy based on non-discrimination, whether in recruitment, training, career progression or remuneration. We are therefore committed to promoting diversity in all its forms, particularly in terms of age, gender, qualifications and professional background. Some of the guidelines considered in the context of promoting diversity are:

– advising recruiters to draw up a shortlist that is balanced in terms of gender representation;

– paying attention to team composition to avoid homogeneous groups;

– monitoring performance appraisals, promotions and pay reviews to ensure these processes are managed correctly in terms of equality and non-discrimination.
