#NoExcuse | UNiTE to End Violence against Women
On 25 November, UniCredit endorses the Global UNiTE campaign, raising awareness on breaking the silence about violence against women and girls in all its forms.
A number of initiatives are in place across the Bank as well as a rigorous monitoring process to support our DE&I ambitions.
We continue to invest in the professional development of our people through upskilling and reskilling programmes, including Inclusive Leadership programmes and leadership and development programmes for women.
Our Group Development Offer is fully aligned with UniCredit DE&I strategy, embedding the behaviours required to promote a more equitable and inclusive culture.
A series of initiatives made available to all colleagues including a new set of Inclusive Language, Inclusive Recruitment and Gender Transition guidelines and Gender pronouns in e-mail signatures - on a voluntary basis - to ensure we are correctly respecting each other's gender identity. UniCredit supports inclusive language and the rights of its people to define how they would like to be identified.
The UniCredit Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Global Policy and Policy against Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Bullying and Anti - Retaliation, have been created to reinforce inclusion at work based on equal opportunities and non-discrimination.
Our DE&I governance is now stronger than ever, empowered by our shared corporate policies, guiding principles, best practices, and passionate DE&I networks, including Accountable Executives, Local Managers, and Employee Networks. These are spread throughout our organisation to enhance synergies and promote cross-pollination within our business. They play a fundamental role in ensuring accountability, cultivating a supportive culture, driving sustainable growth, and fostering a continuous commitment to innovation and creativity.
