Gender Equality
Our CEO, Ivana Ciabatti, has always been at the forefront in supporting initiatives that enhance women’s rights, their potential, their genius and above all initiatives against violence (Women for Women). Our CEO is also a member of:
La nostra CEO è anche membro di:
Women in Mining UK, which involves women in the mining industry from worldwide;
Women Empowerment Principles,is an initiative of UN Women and UN Global Compact and consists of a set of principles that offer guidance to businesses on how to promote gender equality and empowerment of women in the workplace, the market and the community.
We support the He for She initiative, a UN Women project that invites men to join to support gender equality. We campaigned internally to invite our employees to join.
We constantly work in internal campaign to increase awareness of the existence of a dramatic phenomenon, namely domestic violence. In a period of great difficulty due to Covid19, with imposition of the lockdown, many people may have found themselves trapped in their homes. We therefore urged everyone to be sensitive to the issue and to support people who could be subject to it, also giving information on the services that work to support them 24 hours a day.
Italpreziosi has always been at the forefront in fighting violence against women.
Every year, we support the Camomilla Women for Women Against Violence Award initiative, by which courageous women are rewarded for their courage in fighting this violence, sharing their own experiences and inspiring other women.

Women's rights and mining
Sign the Stakeholder Statement on Implementing Gender-Responsive Due Diligence and ensuring the human rights of women in Mineral Supply Chains and make the difference!
In 2020, Italpreziosi signed the “OECD Stakeholder Statement on Implementing Gender-Responsive Due Diligence and ensuring the human rights of women in Mineral Supply Chains” through Women’s Rights and Mining (WRM).
The goal is to create more awareness on gender equality through:
- Requests for information regarding women (number and role) within the companies with which we work, both upstream and downstream;
- Participation of working groups and projects developed in the supply chain which also provide for the support of miners from small communities, in partnership with public and private sector actors;
- Raising awareness of the issue through training and information campaigns and initiatives in the supply chain.
Since 2021, we have begun to progressively collect data on women’s role in our supply chain. We have been able to collect data from 30% of our counterparties to date.
ITALY: 22,70% of the counterparties analyzed: 52.78% of women in the supply chain
ABROAD: 45% of the counterparties analyzed: 25.62% of women in the supply chain
Overall, women represent 29.89% of human resources in our supply chain.
In 2020, we were invited to talk about our commitment to gender equality at the event organized by UN Women and the Ministry of Energy of Chile. We are always happy to describe our commitment to inspire and encourage other realities to follow the same path. Transparency and collaboration are key points.
