De Rigo vision obtains gender equality certification

De Rigo Vision S.p.A., a world leader in the eyewear sector with a history rooted in the heart of the Veneto Dolomites since 1978, is proud to announce that it has obtained Gender Equality Certification in accordance with the UNI/PdR 125:2022 Reference Practice.

Obtaining this official certification is not only a regulatory milestone, but also the formalisation of a corporate culture that has always placed people, with their talents and aptitudes, at the centre of its vision, regardless of gender, role or location. De Rigo, which has been bringing the tradition and style of Italian eyewear to the world for decades, has demonstrated a strategic and measurable commitment to equity, inclusion and respect in every business process.

De Rigo's history has always been linked to the value of its people. A particularly significant fact is that over 65% of the Group's total workforce is made up of women. The certification, issued by Bureau Veritas Italia, recognises the effectiveness of the measures taken by the company to reduce the gender gap in all areas of the business.

The Group's Gender Equality Policy covers a number of areas, including:

Governance and Company Organisation: ensuring balanced representation at all decision-making levels. Human Resources (HR) processes: ensuring fairness at all stages, from recruitment to career management and remuneration. Work-Life Balance and Well-being: promoting support systems for parenting, care and a positive and proactive corporate climate. Zero Tolerance: maintaining a firm principle of 'Zero Tolerance' towards all forms of abuse, harassment and discrimination. "Obtaining Gender Equality Certification is an achievement that fills us with pride, but we consider it above all a starting point. For De Rigo, equality is not just a regulatory objective, but a strategic pillar that defines our identity as a family and a global company. This achievement recognises and reinforces our ongoing commitment to ensuring equal opportunities, career development and an inclusive and respectful working environment for all," commented Barbara De Rigo [Chief Marketing Officer of De Rigo Vision S.p.A.].

De Rigo Vision's commitment extends to its entire supply chain and network of relationships, disseminating its Gender Equality Policy to stakeholders, suppliers and partners, so that the values of fairness and inclusion can actively contribute to the achievement of corporate and social objectives.
