The policy grants 100% paid parental leave for a minimum of eight weeks to all our people globally. This is applied without distinction – women and men, in heterosexual or same-sex relationships, or in single-parent families, whether natural or adoptive – recognising the value of parenthood in all its forms.
«This is another important step that strengthens our commitment to an increasingly fair working culture that is attentive to the needs of everyone - said Enrico Contini, Group Chief Human Resources Officer - Empowering parents to take care of their children is a commitment that extends beyond the workplace: it’s an investment in our people’s well-being».
The policy represents a minimum global standard that complements and integrates existing local regulations, ensuring superior benefits where national laws are less favourable.
This continues our commitment to promoting corporate practices to create an inclusive work environment. The policy is in line with Responsibility, one of our core values.
