Key Takeaways

• Leonardo receives UNI/PdR125:2022 Gender Equality Certification, displaying commitment to diversity and equal opportunities.
• Inclusion in Bloomberg's Gender-Equality Index for the third year reinforces this pledge.
• Initiatives in strategy, training, pay equity, and work-life balance contribute to the certification.

Leonardo has been granted the UNI/PdR125:2022 Gender Equality Certification by RINA, recognising their efforts to create a diverse and inclusive work environment.

Their inclusion in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) 2023 for a third consecutive year, which is a testament to their leadership in gender equality, is further validation of this accomplishment.

They underwent a thorough evaluation that examined their initiatives in various areas, including company culture, leadership, training programmes, pay fairness, parental support, work-life balance, and communication.

This review validated the efficiency of Leonardo's Gender Equality Management System, which smoothly combines their specific Gender Equality Strategic Plan with their overall Sustainability Plan.

Investing in People for Innovation and Success

"The contribution and skills of our colleagues are key factors for the innovation and success of our business: for this reason, valorising them is an essential commitment for us. We want to create a workplace in which all people can fully express their potential," says Antonio Liotti, Chief People & Organisation Officer. "To this end, we have established the role of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Manager, who guarantees respect for diversity as a distinctive component of our corporate culture, and a Steering Committee, which also includes our CEO and General Manager and our Co-General Manager.”

Continuous Improvement Through Data-Driven Strategies

"To confirm our commitment, defined by the Group's sustainability objectives and aimed at enhancing the female contribution in the company in terms of employment and presence in leadership positions," says Raffaella Luglini, Chief Sustainability Officer of Leonardo. "We have integrated the Gender Equality Strategic Plan within the 2024-2028 Sustainability Plan, which in turn is part of Leonardo's Industrial and Strategic Plan, developing projects that aim to strengthen a culture of equity, inclusion, and respect for diversity. Rigorous metrics, digital tools, and a data-driven approach will allow us to measure the effectiveness of the actions taken, with a view to continuous improvement."

Leonardo's strategy uses clear metrics, digital tools, and a data-driven approach to measure the effectiveness of their initiatives. This allows them to refine their programmes and ensure continued progress towards a truly inclusive workplace.
