It is our corporate responsibility to promote an inclusive culture free from any form of discrimination or prejudice and to encourage fairness and equal opportunities. That’s why we have drawn up a DE&I strategy in accordance with the Diversity, Equality & Inclusion (DE&I) Group Policy – the aim is to ensure the promotion and adoption of DE&I principles in company policies and is based on five pillars: Gender Equality, Generations, LGBTQ+, Multicultural, and Workability. Our Diversity & Inclusion Steering Committee oversees the promotion and adoption of DE&I principles, and DE&I Certifications demonstrate our commitment to this topic. They include the Gender Equality Certification, in accordance with the Uni Pdr 125:2022 Standard, and the Human Resources Management Diversity and Inclusion attestation in accordance with the International ISO 30415:2021 Standard.
Saipem has always been committed to supporting people's values of diversity and inclusion. We are convinced that the actions we take to encourage the principle of correctness are a priority for the common good and we believe that giving voice to our people is of fundamental importance.

The pillars of our DE&I Strategy
At Saipem, DE&I means creating a space where everyone feels they belong, can be their authentic selves and are valued for who they are and the role they have in the larger Saipem community. This means listening, respecting differences, and building a culture rooted in equality and inclusion. By doing so, we give our people the tools and support they need to be leaders for a more sustainable future.
Gender Equality
We promote gender equality by ensuring equal opportunities in development and management processes on a local level, supporting women’s empowerment initiatives, and combatting all forms of violence, harassment, and bias.
Workability
We institute the accessibility and employability of people with disabilities, encouraging the participation of everyone by mitigating employment barriers and inequality and fostering a culture that values the needs of its people.
LGBTQ+
We encourage the inclusion of LGBTQ+ people in the workplace.
Multiculturality
We embrace the value of cultural diversity by recognising local identities as a source of enrichment and respecting everyone’s cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds.
Generations
We foster intergenerational dialogue to promote the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and skills and invest in youth skills as a driver for a sustainable future.
How we are creating an environment that empowers our people to lead, for a better future
With such a diverse workforce, we know that it’s important to meet everyone’s needs no matter their background or culture. We must ensure the workplaces we govern provide safe, equitable, and inclusive spaces for every individual. An important part of this is guaranteeing the health and wellbeing of our people and providing equal opportunities for development and growth.
