Human Capital For a Sustainable Development

We are committed to creating a positive environment based on respect, where our employees feel fully engaged at work and in their private lives. Our people are our greatest asset and we invest in their professional development through dedicated training programmes and development paths as well as supporting their need with a complete welfare offer.

Sustainable jobs

As an example, given that gender diversity is a priority for the Group, we have delivered a Women in Leadership Programme aimed at allowing talented female FVPs maximise their potential and provide them with tools to empower fellow women across the organisation. Furthermore, to encourage female entrepreneurs, we have partnered with Valore D for the international and cross-company women’s mentoring programme, WeFly® with the goal to engage middle management women and support them in exploring more international careers.
 

Social sustainability

With regard to social sustainability, we are also strongly committed to ensuring an equal opportunity workplace and a positive and inclusive environment for all our people, promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. In addition, the Group is investing €100m over the course of the 2024 Strategic Plan towards closing the gender pay gap.

Tto engage our colleagues and empower them to make a difference together, UniCredit has several Employee Resource Groups to champion inclusiveness across the Group. In addition, we encourage employee involvement in our local and Group level partnerships, such as with Teach For All, which is a foundational partnership across seven of our countries to advance education for children in Europe.

Sustainable bank and sustainable business

Moreover, as a sustainability driven company we are proud to have been acknowledged with the Top Employers Institute certification for several years in a row, in recognition of our exceptional employee offerings. The certification identifies leading employers based on a thorough research process and a set of required standards.
