Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

At Italgas, we value every individual by fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace, grounded in equal opportunities and the protection of personal dignity. In line with our Code of Ethics and DE&I Policy, we view diversity as a core value and a vital asset to our company.

In 2023, we launched a change management program dedicated to Diversity & Inclusion, achieved the UNI/PdR 125:2022 certification on gender equality, and implemented widespread awareness initiatives across the organization.

Supporting these values, over 70 Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Ambassadors operate throughout our territories, representing various dimensions of identity: gender, age, culture, sexual and emotional orientation, and disability.

We collaborate with organizations such as ValoreD, STEM by Women, and Parks – Liberi e Uguali. Since 2024, we have also been a founding member of PARI – Together Against Gender-Based Violence, an inter-company initiative aimed at training and raising awareness on the cultural roots of gender violence.

Our commitment extends to Family Friendly policies as well, including our participation in the Promama project and the addition of five extra days of paternity leave beyond legal requirements.

Finally, following our expansion into Greece, we established a group of Ambassadors in the new territory to promote integration and intercultural dialogue.

Key initiatives include:

• Annual survey specifically focused on gender-based harassment in the workplace.
• Self-empowerment and training programs aimed at strengthening individual skills and competencies.
• Training and awareness events on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion topics.
• Several awareness campaigns organized in conjunction with November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
• In terms of work-life balance, paternity leave has been extended by an additional five days beyond the provisions of current legislation.
• Employees may benefit from up to 40 additional days of smart working in cases of pregnancy, maternity, paternity, or gender-based violence.

We carry out a range of initiatives in collaboration with other companies and associations. In particular:

• We are supporting members of PARI – Insieme contro la violenza di genere (“PARI – Together Against Gender-Based Violence”).
• We collaborate with Valore D to promote gender balance.
• We support associations that foster the growth of female talent in STEM fields, such as STEM By Women.
• We are supporting members of Parks – Liberi e Uguali.
• We actively collaborate with Promama and Me First to promote shared and conscious parenting.
• We participate in projects aimed at supporting the professional development of female students, such as Ingegno al Femminile.

We are proud founding members of PARI – Insieme contro la violenza di genere. As a Group, Italgas is fully aware of its social role alongside its industrial responsibilities and is proud to support an initiative that brings together companies, institutions, and organizations to combat gender-based violence by addressing its root causes: stereotypes, inequality, and prejudice.

PARI was established to promote culture, education, and awareness, with the aim of helping build workplaces and communities that are fairer, safer, and more inclusive. Because companies are not only places of work, but also communities with the power to drive meaningful change.
