Celebrating and enhancing talent

In 2023, the Group adopted a DE&I Policy, which specifies the principles, objectives and guidelines underpinning the Group's commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and a Gender Equality Policy designed to ensure a fair, safe and stimulating working environment for all employees, collaborators and partners. In particular, the Gender Equality Policy sets out the Group's principles and guidelines in relation to several working-related matters of OTB, such as the selection and hiring process, the performance and talent management systems, training and development, salary and work-life balance, as well as topics related to parenting and the prevention and reporting of harassment in the workplace. Both policies must be applied by all the companies of the Group.

With regards to this topic, in 2023 OTB and Diesel obtained Gender Equality Certification (UNI/PdR 125:2022), after passing a six-indicator assessment process conducted by a world-leading company in inspection, compliance verification and certification services. Specifically, the assessment focused on corporate culture and strategy, governance, human resources processes, growth and inclusion opportunities for women, gender pay equity, support for parenthood, and work-life balance. OTB and Diesel’s certification was renewed for 2024.

During 2024, the Group’s commitment led to a significant increase of 5,081 hours in training hours provided compared to 2023.
We aim at creating an efficient and effective system that includes a wide range of innovative courses and communication and leadership tools for all our employees, designed to foster flexible and stimulating learning.
