Poste Italiane was awarded first prize in the "Diversity & Inclusion" category at the fifth edition of the "Premio al Report di Sostenibilità" (Sustainability Report Award)
 
 
Poste Italiane recognises the fundamental importance of its contribution in promoting the principles of sustainable development, considering its relevance within the Italian economic and social panorama. Therefore, the Group has adopted a Code of Ethics, supported by corporate policies and guidelines to protect and safeguard Human Rights.
 
These include the Corporate Policy on the Protection and Safeguarding of Human Rights, the Policy on the Diversity of Management and Control Bodies, the Diversity & Inclusion Policy and the more recent Support for Active Parenting Policy. Moreover, in addition to following the company policies and guidelines mentioned above, Poste Italiane guarantees the well-being of all the people working in the Company or collaborating with it, and is committed to improving the conditions of the communities in which it operates through a proactive approach aimed at disseminating respect for international principles concerning the safeguarding and protection of Human Rights.

The Diversity & Inclusion programmes, in line with the provisions of the Company Policy, are monitored using indicators developed annually in collaboration with the Group's Sustainable Development, Risk and Compliance function in the Corporate Affairs area, in line with the evolutionary guidelines of the corporate sustainability plan.

Poste Italiane maintains, in continuity with the previous year, its Diversity & Inclusion Plan, developed following an active participation process that involved the formation of cross-functional working groups made up of professionals and middle managers who operated according to a bottom-up approach, formulating project proposals evaluated on the basis of two criteria, the qualitative-quantitative impact on the company population and the speed of implementation. The objective of the Plan is to generate significant change processes that bring added value to people, organisational behaviour, leadership styles and relationships within the Group. Through the implementation of targeted projects and initiatives, as well as communication and awareness campaigns, the Group promotes engagement, listening and trust, the creation of inclusive work environments, and the overall improvement of the corporate organisation through the valorisation of diversity.
