Diversity and inclusion
We are committed to our employees to value diversity, support equal opportunity and inclusion.
In line with our Code of Ethics, we regard diversity as a corporate asset. We respect everyone’s dignity by ensuring equal opportunities in every aspect of the employment relationship, avoiding any form of discrimination that may arise from differences in sex, age, health status, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, political or religious views.
We are strongly committed to improving the inclusion of our people, promoting equal opportunity and diversity, and valuing everyone’s uniqueness. This commitment has been embodied in the change management program dedicated to Diversity & Inclusion, which includes the implementation of widespread awareness-raising initiatives. We have identified more than 40 Diversity & Inclusion Ambassadors, key change figures who engage in five areas: age, culture, gender equality, affective orientation and disability.

The certification for gender equality
In 2023, we took an important step in our D&I journey by obtaining the UNI/PdR 125:2022 certification for gender equality for Italgas S.p.A. We now have the ambition to maintain or increase the certification score in the coming years, and to include another Group company in the certification scope by 2024.
In addition, we intend to organize every year:
- Employee engagement projects and initiatives on diversity and inclusion issues
- recruiting initiatives dedicated to women who have pursued STEM education.
Our D&I initiatives
Key initiatives include:
- A specific survey on the issue of gender-based violence
- The initiation of a women’s empowerment journey
- Training events, such as 3Days4Inclusion and a webinar on inclusive language
- The implementation of the Mentoring and Reverse Mentoring program “WeInspire,” which involved pairs of mentors and mentees.
We also carry out various shared initiatives with other companies and associations. In particular:
