Gender Equality Policy
Gender equality
In line with the objectives of the UN 2030 Agenda, and in particular Goal 5, “Achieve gender equality and empower all women”, OPEM has decided to implement a Gender Equality Management System in accordance with UNI/PdR 125:2022, obtaining the relevant certification from an accredited third-party body.
The aim is to implement, systematize and improve good practices to promote gender equality, fostering an inclusive culture and introducing processes that support women’s empowerment.
In this context, OPEM defines and keeps its Gender Equality Policy up to date. The Policy establishes the guidelines within which gender equality objectives will be set and is subject to an annual review to assess its consistency and applicability.
The Gender Equality Policy is communicated and disseminated to everyone working at OPEM, as well as to interested parties, through internal communication and publication on the company website.
