Diversity and inclusion have contributed to building our identity and culture, giving shape to what we are today: a company with a commercial presence in more than 150 countries, with over 53,000 employees, committed to fostering a work environment in which everyone can truly thrive and reach their full potential

As a demonstration of this commitment, Leonardo has obtained certification on Gender Equality UNI/PdR 125:2022 from RINA following a rigorous evaluation of the governance, policies and tools adopted to promote and protect diversity and equal opportunities in the company.

Leonardo recognises the critical role an inclusive and diverse workforce has in creating opportunities for the Group’s competitiveness, innovation and sustainable growth.

We actively celebrate diversity and promote the principles of equity and inclusion, whilst working to remove and prevent all forms of direct or indirect discrimination in all areas of the working relationship, in both business relations and our internal community.  To this end, Leonardo has also appointed a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Manager, a figure who guarantees a corporate culture that respects diversity and promotes a collaborative and inclusive working environment.  

In line with these targets and with Leonardo’s Sustainability Plan, the company has developed various initiatives involving all levels in its corporate structure. These include:

We promote a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion also through the introduction of new ‘ways of working’ models that encourage a better work-life balance, welfare tools for employees who are caretakers, and unconscious bias trainings for our recruiters.
