OUR PEOPLE AND THE VALUE OF HEALTH, SAFETY AND DIVERSITY
3.1 PEOPLE AT THE CENTER FOR THE TRANSITION TOWARDS AN INCREASINGLY SUSTAINABLE AND MORE DIGITAL ECONOMY The current environmental and digital transition is a revolutionary transformation requiring new and diversified technical, managerial and entrepreneurial professional expertise. It also requires a sustainable approach, as well as high-level digital skills and enriching value of Diversity in terms of gender, ethnicity, age, diverse abilities and professional experience and knowledge. Our People are the enablers of the transformation and the change taking place. Therefore, our priority objective and the cornerstone of our Human Resources Policies are investing in protecting their health and safety and promoting well-being and professional growth, while recognizing merit, making the most of everyone’s talent and guaranteeing equal opportunities. Our Group considers the focus on the working conditions of employees among its main priorities, and recognises the fundamental value of the quality of their working experience. These, together with protecting and valuing Diversity, represent the essential and fundamental elements of its ethical approach to Human Resources management in a context, such as the current one, which is increasingly diverse and challenging. While overcoming differences in gender, age, religion, culture, skill and ability, we will continue to enhance the richness of Diversity to maintain an authentically sustainable and inclusive organization, where each individual contributes to generating value, able to attract new professionals ready to share our challenges and our vision, in the spirit of the founding values of the Maire Tecnimont Group, the Code of Ethics and sustainability policies. Promoting equal opportunities is a business priority which, through the extension of access to technology and skills development initiatives, as instrument of equity and opportunity generation, can encourage the continuous evolution of the Group in the direction of increasing effectiveness, resilience and innovation. To this end, we will endeavour to develop initiatives to continue to stand out in terms of our excellence on health and safety in every area of our business and in all phases of project execution. We will continue our journey of social accountability, aimed at ensuring the utmost focus on and protection of all the People along our supply chain. We will complete our programme for additional professional health insurance coverage to all employees and extend it to their families. We will expand investment in continuing education through 82
