Gender Equality Certification (UNI/PdR 125:2022): a step towards ESG development
In 2024, Manens committed to a new certification journey to systematically align its corporate actions to ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) principles. One first step in this process recently led us to obtain the Gender Equality Certification by UNI/PdR 125:2022.
This was possible thanks to the support of DNV – Business Assurance, an international society providing global certification, assurance and training services. This latest certification follows several others that Manens has earned and keeps confirming over the years, covering work process efficiency, occupational health and safety and environmental management (UNI EN ISO 9001:2015, 14001:2015, 45001:2018).
Over our 55-year history, we have approached each project as a unique opportunity for collective and individual professional growth, technical investigation, and research of technological innovations. It has also been a chance to exchange and improve our organizational models.
“As ‘Engineers’ we have always had a technical and ethical dimension, which we strive to convey in our internal and external relations,” stated Giorgio Finotti, CEO of Manens. “Achieving this certification allows us to set new goals and systematically monitor them so that equity and inclusion can further enrich our corporate culture, helping us to enhance both our company and people.”
“Supporting a company like Manens through the UNI/PdR 125 certification process is always a source of pride for us. Manens has demonstrated a consistent commitment to equity and inclusion. This certification is both a recognition of their current efforts and an encouragement to continue fostering a corporate culture that values diversity. It’s a shining example of how companies can help build a more equitable and sustainable society,” commented Massimo Alvaro, CEO of Business Assurance Italy for DNV.
This certification marks the beginning of a new growth path, with medium and long-term goals, aimed at strengthening Manens’ identity and corporate culture, following our objectives of innovation and sustainability.
