At Penta, we strive to build a gender equal, diverse and inclusive work environment for all. To achieve this, 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.
Our efforts thus far have resulted in UNI/Pdr 125:2022 certification for gender equality by Bureau Veritas, achieved with a score of 96% in 2023 and reconfirmed in 2024.
Building on the successes of the 2022-2024 Gender Equality Plan, which increased Penta’s Gender Equality Assessment Implementation (GEAI) score from 54.15% to 87.5%, the 2025-2027 Gender Equality Plan strengthens our commitment to gender equality by expanding initiatives to foster a more inclusive and productive workplace, where all employees can thrive.
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 equality does not stop with our employees. We are committed to continuously monitor and improve 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.
