At Penta, we strive to build a gender-equal, diverse and inclusive work environment for all. As part of the Penta 2020-2025 Strategy, we are actively taking steps to embed the values of diversity and inclusion into our policy and practice, thus promoting long-term structural change at all levels.
In 2021 we analysed the gender dimension in our existing policies, based on the Gender Equality Assessment Implementation (GEAI). Our assessment revealed that Penta scored 54,15% of GEAI in February 2022. Our objective is to achieve 70% by 2023. The aim of our Gender Equality Plan (2022-2024) is to provide a roadmap to reach these goals.
Our Gender Equality Policy highlights the guidelines and measures implemented by Penta to ensure equal opportunities and treatment for employees. It also seeks to promote a culture of respect and non-discrimination, fostering an inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and talents.
Our commitment to high levels of equity does not stop with our employees. We are committed to build gender equality in research and training, both on the side of researchers and trainers, and on the side of patients and trainees day by day.
The implementation and monitoring of the Gender Equality Plan will be carried out by the Gender Equality Working Group (GEWG). The GEWG is chaired by Ms. Eleonora Brugiolo, Penta’s Equality Officer.
