People’s Wellbeing

We also aim to create Wellbeing in our working environment. We believe in the uniqueness of each talent, in the culture of continuous improvement, and in the strength of teamwork. For us, it is fundamental to offer a dynamic and stimulating professional growth path, in line with everyone's abilities and aspirations. We believe that our people are the first ambassadors of our business and our results are a direct reflection of their motivation, dedication and satisfaction. We are committed to: ensuring a fair and inclusive environment for our employees, with shared ethical values; being attentive to people's needs; and building a business environment where every professional can feel valued. We have always been strongly and concretely linked to the region and the community in which we operate, promoting its positive development. We support projects aimed at building a society capable of embracing the uniqueness of each individual, supporting the most vulnerable people, and offering more opportunities. We contribute to various causes through: the donation of our products; the purchase of useful goods; financial contributions; and support for sports and cultural associations and activities.

We believe in the importance of personal and family well-being: in 2022, to improve the work-life balance, we introduced 1 day of smart working per week compatible with the tasks performed in all our Group companies. We have also introduced hourly flexibility for companies in Italy.

We believe in female talent: passion, dedication and sensitivity are qualities that make women crucial to the success of our brands. In our teams, women are often predominant, for example, in the case of BioNike, they make up 79%, of which 67% have a managerial role.

We believe in the importance of constant skills development, which is why we invest in continuous training for our employees.

During 2023, we carried out a salary equity study to define plans aimed at offering conditions that are as respectful as possible of the skills and roles of each professional.

As part of our three-year Sustainability Action Plan for the 2024/2026 period, we have dedicated an important chapter of the Social part to initiatives aimed at improving the well-being of our people, such as upgrading our workspaces, an evolution of our internal corporate communication, and engagement activities that increase the sense of belonging to the company and the sharing of the group's founding values.
