UNI/PdR 125:2022 Gender Equality
As part of its social responsibility and personal development policies, Conserve Italia has launched a process for Gender Equality certification, demonstrating a concrete commitment to building a fair and inclusive work environment that respects diversity. In this context, a specific Gender Equality Policy has also been defined and adopted, formalizing the organization's principles, objectives, and commitments in this area.
The certification, introduced by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) and regulated by the UNI/PdR 125:2022 reference practice, constitutes a tool aimed at promoting the adoption of organisational practices designed to reduce the gender gap. The assessment system is based on specific performance indicators (KPIs) which cover various areas, including corporate culture and respect, governance, human resource management processes, professional development, equal pay and parenting support.
The achievement of this certification reflects the adoption of a structured management model, focused on promoting equal opportunities and recognising the value of diversity.
Furthermore, a Steering Committee has been established, a body responsible for managing reports and related issues, including those concerning harassment and conduct that does not comply with the principles of respect and inclusion.
All personnel are able to report any conduct not in line with the principles of equality and inclusion, in accordance with the procedures described in the document 'Anti-harassment policy and reporting methods', with particular reference to paragraph 5.
The certification is valid for three years and is subject to annual periodic audits, aimed at ensuring the required standards are maintained over time.
Quality Agricultural Work Network
An important step in this procedure is membership of the quality agricultural work network, as confirmed by renewal of the supplementary company contract initialled on 15 May 2018.
The quality agricultural work network was set up at the INPS by Art. 6 of Decree Law 91/2014, converted with amendments by Law 116/2014, in order to select agricultural firms that satisfy the requirements for membership and are qualified in terms of compliance with employment laws, social legislation and laws on income tax and value added tax. Art. 8 of Law 199/2016, which has been in force since 4 November 2016, amended said Art. 6 and profoundly innovated the agricultural work network, by expanding its competences, introducing new requirements for companies, and adding the members of the Control Room responsible for supervising the Network.
On 18 April 2018, the Control Room accepted Conserve Italia as a member of the Quality Agricultural Work Network.
Similarly, the Board of Directors of Conserve Italia also resolved to involve the members of Conserve Italia, which are mainly agricultural cooperatives, who have also been asked to join the Quality Agricultural Work Network.
