Guidelines on Diversity & Inclusion in the workplace

In December 2021, the UN Global Compact Network Italy produced the paper “Guidelines on Diversity & Inclusion in the workplace”, in partnership with ILO - International Labour Organization (Italian Office) and AIDP - Italian Association of Staff Management. The paper is final output of the D&I Observatory, established in 2021 by UNGCN Italy with the participation of 17 Italian companies adhering to UN Global Compact. It collects several business best practices related to “Principle 6” of the UN Global Compact, which promotes the elimination of all forms of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation. The paper shows business initiatives, projects and strategic approaches on the topics of inclusive leadership, equal opportunities and treatment, considering specific groups of people: women, migrants and young people. In the light of the analysis of the regulatory context and the experiences described, the Guidelines formulate a series of Recommendations addressed to business organizations and applicable across all levels and functions within them. The companies involved in the publication are Andriani, Artsana, Brembo, Crédit Agricole, Edison, Hera, Enel, Inwit, Leonardo, Mediobanca, Snam, Tper, UniCredit, Kohler.
