Equal Opportunities
Promoting inclusion and equal opportunities
At the core of a truly impactful human resources management policy, Gpi believes there must be a particular focus on the issue of equal opportunities. To solidify this commitment, in 2023, Gpi obtained UNI PdR 125 Certification (Gender Equality) and ISO 30415 Certification (Diversity & Inclusion).
At the organizational level, the Group appointed a Diversity & Inclusion Manager and established a D&I Committee. This enables the Group to ensure the development, implementation, adoption, and monitoring of strategies and practices aimed at promoting an inclusive work culture globally.
Gpi is increasingly committed to promoting equal opportunities within the organization by implementing initiatives to ensure that all employees have equal opportunities for professional growth and development.
Since 2019, Gpi has been conducting a Gender Pay Gap analysis across the entire corporation. For 2023, these are the data recorded:
- Executives: Women earn, on average, a higher salary (about 125% compared to men);
- Middle Management: Wages vary by contract type; with the multiservice contract, women earn 117% compared to men, while with the metalworking contract, they earn less (88% compared to men);
- White-collar workers: Women earn slightly less than men, both under the multiservice contract (99%) and the metalworking contract (92%);
- Blue-collar workers: For the multiservice contract alone, women earn a salary that is essentially equal to that of men (99%).
The Group continues to define a plan to increase female representation in managerial roles, with dedicated growth paths: currently, the share of women among managers is 17%, and the goal is to reach at least 20% of women among managers by 2026. The commitment remains steady, and the intention unchanged: to completely close the gender pay gap.
As for protected categories, Gpi maintains stable relationships with local partners and social cooperatives to create value and turn the inclusion of employees with specific needs into opportunities. In Italy, the Group’s employees who belong to protected categories number around 311.
