Italcoat and IPS Industrial Packaging Solution demonstrate once again the key role of social sustainability in their business model, proudly announcing that they have achieved the UNI/PdR 125:2022 certification for gender equality.This joint milestone rewards our companies’ continuous commitment to fostering an inclusive and equitable corporate culture, capable of valuing every employee’s talent and ensuring equal professional growth opportunities within safe and motivating work environments.
This recognition is part of the strategic path shared with the Laminazione Sottile Group, which led to the implementation of a single equality management system across all its 4 Italian sites.
The Six Corporate Areas
Attaining compliance with the national reference practice UNI/PdR 125:2022 is the result of an in-depth evaluation that assessed six corporate macro-areas:
- Culture and strategy
- Governance
- HR processes
- Growth opportunities and inclusion for women
- Remuneration equity by gender
- Parental status protection and work-life balance
The performance indicator monitoring and internal requirement compliance were validated and certified by SGS S.r.l., a leading globally accredited auditing and verification body.
By adopting this standard, Italcoat and IPS strengthen transparent organizational policies based on formal, written, and identical recruitment and career growth criteria for everyone, full protection for returning to professional paths after caregiving leaves, and dedicated reporting channels managed by an internal representative. The system involves continuous monitoring and annual maintenance audits for each production site, ensuring steady progress in social and corporate inclusion parameters.
