Cantiere Rossini has successfully renewed its UNI/PdR 125:2022 certification, confirming the continuation of its commitment to gender equality and fair working practices.

The certification, valid for the 2025–2028 period, has been maintained following the audit carried out at the end of March.

PdR 125 is not simply a formal recognition. It is a structured framework that requires companies to define clear policies, monitor specific indicators and actively work towards a more balanced and respectful working environment. 

Cantiere Rossini first obtained the certification in 2025 and has since continued to develop its internal approach. As of December 2025, women represent 25% of the workforce, compared to a sector average of 10.2%, highlighting a stronger-than-average female presence within the company. 

At the same time, the company recognises that there is still work to be done. While the Board of Directors remains fully male, women already represent 40% of operational leadership roles, marking a gradual shift towards more balanced decision-making structures. 

Beyond numbers, the focus is on day-to-day working culture.

In 2025, no reports of discrimination or harassment were recorded, supported by active internal listening channels including direct dialogue, internal surveys and a whistleblowing platform. The internal climate survey also showed a 93% positive response rate, indicating a generally collaborative and respectful working environment. 

To support the ongoing development of these principles, Cantiere Rossini has established a Gender Equality Steering Committee responsible for monitoring progress, gathering feedback and guiding future initiatives. 

Looking ahead, the company aims to move from certification to shared understanding.

Over the coming months, a structured programme of internal sessions will be introduced. These will take place during working hours and will focus both on topics related to gender equality and on the sharing of knowledge and competences across departments.

The objective is not only to meet certification requirements, but to ensure that these principles are understood, applied and recognised as part of the company’s way of working.

As highlighted in the internal programme, the PdR 125 certification represents a starting point rather than an end point.
