Ponti confirms its Gender Equality Certification with the gender pay gap reduced to zero

Ponti also confirms for 2026 its Gender Equality Management System Certification Uni/PdR 125:2022, obtained for the first time two years ago, with a result that marks a further step forward in the path undertaken by the company.

The certifying body Sgs recognised the consolidation of Ponti's Gender Equality Management System and the continuous improvement of the activities implemented over the two-year period, raising the overall score from 70% in 2025 to 77% in 2026.

Also confirmed was the elimination of the gender pay gap, an element that continues to represent one of the pillars of the management system adopted by the company.

Areas of growth

Among the assessment areas set out in the Uni/PdR reference practice 125:2022, Ponti recorded the most significant progress precisely in the areas relating to the gender pay gap and work-life reconciliation and support for parenthood. The most significant result concerns women's opportunities for growth and inclusion within the company, whose score rose from 30% to 55%, the most significant progress recorded this year, demonstrating the company's investment in increasingly fair and inclusive career paths.

The protection of parenthood and work-life reconciliation also improved, from 80% to 90%, a result that confirms the effectiveness of the policies supporting parenthood and promoting balance between professional and personal life adopted by Ponti. Finally, the score for pay equity was confirmed at 70%, in line with the elimination of the gender pay gap recorded by the company.

The comment

“We are particularly proud of the progress made in opportunities for women to grow within the company and in support for parenthood: these are areas that have a direct impact on the lives of our people and that remain a tangible priority for us at Ponti. Naturally, we do not intend to stop here. We will continue to invest in policies, integrated consistently with the company's Management System, that help make our business an increasingly fair, inclusive workplace that is attentive to the needs of everyone,” said Lara Ponti, Vice President of Ponti.
