- Information
Ponti also confirms for 2026 the certification of the gender equality management system 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 carried out over the two-year period, raising the overall score from 70% in 2025 to 77% in 2026.
The reduction of the gender pay gap to zero was also confirmed, an element that continues to represent one of the pillars of the management system adopted by the company.
Areas of growth
Among the areas of assessment set out in the reference practice Uni/PdR 125:2022, Ponti recorded the most significant progress precisely in the areas relating to gender pay gap and work-life balance and support for parenthood. The most significant result concerns opportunities for women's growth and inclusion in the company, whose score rose from 30% to 55%, the most important progress recorded this year, demonstrating the company's investment in increasingly fair and inclusive career paths.
The protection of parenthood and work-life balance also improved, from 80% to 90%, a result that confirms the effectiveness of the policies supporting parenthood and balance between professional and personal life adopted by Ponti. The score for pay equity was also confirmed, at 70%, in line with the gender pay gap being reduced to zero at the company.
The comment
“We are particularly proud of the progress achieved in opportunities for women to grow within the company and in support for parenthood: these are areas that directly affect the lives of our people and that remain a concrete 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 company an increasingly fair and inclusive workplace attentive to everyone's needs,” declared Lara Ponti, Vice-President of Ponti.
