Gender Equality Management System
The UNI/PdR 125:2022 standard is a national guideline aimed at providing a management framework for gender equality in the workplace. Issued by UNI, the Italian Standardization Organization, this standard incorporates gender equality principles and diversity into organizational goals, supporting the shift towards a more socially sustainable work environment.
To foster real change within organizations, the guidelines include requirements for defining and measuring specific goals and KPIs related to gender equality policies.
