Gender Equality Policy

Towards an inclusive and sustainable workplace

Introduction

Servotecnica recognizes gender equality as a fundamental pillar for corporate well-being and for fostering a fair, inclusive, and sustainable work environment. This policy aims to promote genuine equity among all employees, removing barriers that hinder full participation in the organization’s success.

For Servotecnica, gender equality is not only a moral and constitutional duty, in line with Article 3 of the Italian Constitution, but also a strategic driver for improving productivity, innovation, and internal cohesion.

Servotecnica’s Gender Equality Policy is based on the following key principles:

• Equality and fairness: Ensure that all employees have equal access to development opportunities and recognition, regardless of gender.
• Inclusiveness: Foster a workplace culture that values diversity and promotes open dialogue among individuals with diverse experiences and perspectives.
• Transparency: Adopt clear and shared practices in human resource management, salary policies, and professional development opportunities to ensure open communication and accountability.
• Sustainability: Integrate gender equality principles within corporate strategies, contributing to the achievement of the UN 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals.
