The Italian government has introduced the Gender Equality Certificate, an initiative aimed at promoting gender equality in the workplace. This certificate recognises companies that adopt policies and practices aimed at reducing gender gaps in a number of areas, such as career opportunities, equal pay, gender management policies and maternity protection.

Obtaining the certificate is voluntary and open to organisations of all sizes and sectors. To facilitate its implementation, the government has provided guidelines and tools on the official portal, including information on the assessment criteria and the application process. This measure is part of a broader effort to promote gender equality in Italy, encouraging companies to adopt inclusive and equitable practices that benefit both employees and the economic and social development of the country.
