The award is aimed at large companies that have distinguished themselves in the field of gender equality and in enhancing the role of women in the company and the economy, implementing concrete and innovative policies. The Award Commission, chaired by Gianni Letta and with the participation, together with the President of the Bellisario Foundation Lella Golfo, of representatives of Confindustria and the worlds of economy, institutions, and information, examined the numerous applications received and proclaimed SIT the winner.
“We are extremely proud to receive this significant award from the Marisa Bellisario Foundation and Confindustria”, declared Federico de’ Stefani, a second-generation entrepreneur at the helm of the SIT group. “In SIT, innovation and gender equality go hand in hand: 57% of our collaborators are women, and we have many measures to support employee well-being, work-life balance, and support for talent and the communities where we are present. Putting our colleagues in a position to express their potential is a strategic goal, an essential element at the basis of a unique and non-replicable corporate culture”.
