D&I POLICY - Gender Equality

Gender Equality

JULIAN FASHION is committed to supporting the values of diversity, inclusion and gender equality through the adoption of corporate, organizational and management mechanisms based on respect for people’s rights, freedom and dignity. In particular, our company has adopted an integrated management system in accordance with ISO 30415 – UNI/PdR 125. The company operates in accordance with the guidelines of ISO 30415:2021 and UNI/PdR 125:2022, through an approach based on impartiality, and does not tolerate any form of direct or indirect, multiple or interconnected discrimination based on gender, age, sexual orientation and identity, disability, health status, ethnic origin, nationality, political opinions, social background or religious beliefs. The company also promotes conditions aimed at removing cultural, organizational and material barriers that limit the full expression of individuals and their complete development within the organization.

JULIAN FASHION preserves the value of its employees and promotes the protection of their physical, psychological, moral and cultural well-being by ensuring working conditions that respect individual dignity and behavioral standards.

The D&I Policy aims to develop a clear approach in terms of mission, strategies and active practices in order to foster a collaborative, supportive and open working environment, welcoming contributions from all employees and increasing the trust of people, customers and society as a whole.

The objective is to promote diversity in all its dimensions, fully leveraging the opportunities it creates and generating value within the workplace, while also achieving a competitive advantage for the business.

This policy reaffirms the company’s commitment to complying with and actively promoting the principles established by applicable legislation, contractual provisions and standards issued by relevant international organizations:

  • 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs);

  • United Nations Global Compact and Women’s Empowerment Principles;

  • Universal Declaration of Human Rights;

  • United Nations Conventions on women’s rights, the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination, children’s rights and the rights of persons with disabilities;

  • Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the eight fundamental Conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO);

  • ILO Convention on Violence and Harassment, adopted in June 2019.

Diversity is a value that must be protected and encouraged through concrete actions across all organizational and management processes, by understanding, including and valuing the differences among our people. Diversity enriches the organization and encourages new ideas and initiatives, multiplying opportunities to generate innovative solutions. People from different cultural and social backgrounds and generations, with different abilities, skills and experiences, represent a distinctive value that enables constructive dialogue from multiple perspectives and allows the organization to understand and anticipate the needs of customers and relevant stakeholders.

JULIAN FASHION is committed to preserving the value of people, so that everyone feels included and can perform at their best while feeling truly part of the company. This commitment is reflected in a human resources development and management strategy capable of promoting an inclusive culture, valuing the uniqueness of individuals and ensuring equal opportunities for professional growth, regardless of the role held within the organization.

With regard to personnel and career management, specific operating procedures have been established to manage the relevant areas from a Diversity & Inclusion and Gender Equality perspective.

In terms of communication activities, including marketing and advertising, JULIAN FASHION transparently declares its commitment to pursuing gender equality, valuing diversity and supporting women’s empowerment.

JULIAN FASHION implements a policy aimed at promoting Diversity, Inclusion and Gender Equality not only within the company, but also by giving preference to business relationships and partnerships with companies that are equally committed to Diversity, Inclusion and Gender Equality.

Management has identified a qualified resource, namely the Quality Management System Manager (RSGQ), to oversee the D&I management system.

Furthermore, in order to establish an active governance structure for D&I and Gender Equality, the D&I Committee has been established, comprising the DGE, HR and RSGQ.

Every year, in a transparent manner, information regarding the general KPIs and the Gender Equality Strategic Plan, including its specific KPIs, is published on the D&I section of our website in order to explain how the company is progressing towards its established objectives in the areas of D&I and Gender Equality.

This policy is available for consultation in the D&I section of our website.
