The key objectives we will focus on are: Women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), diversity in leadership and embedding inclusion into our culture.

In 2023, 32% of our employees are women and 26% of our top managers are women;

As a further improvement measure, we have established a DE&I Steering Committee, which is responsible for monitoring the progress of the measures put in place and approving the use of dedicated financial and economic resources to increasingly shape inclusion, equity and diversity within our organization;
- No harassment in the workplace: initiatives to raise awareness and combat physical, verbal and psychological harassment in the workplace. we have taken a clear stand on the issue and is committed to ensuring zero tolerance towards harassment incidents in the workplace. The action plan includes our commitment, specific mandatory training to 100% of personnel, a protection committee, a survey and a whistleblowing hotline. In 2021 we launched the e-learning courses “Zero tolerance: How to prevent, recognise and manage workplace harassment”;
- Smart offices: launch of a three-year plan (2021-2023) for the renovation of offices with a smart approach;
