Diversity Equity and Inclusion

At Generali, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are fundamental to how we work and grow as an organisation. By valuing different perspectives and creating an environment where everyone feels respected and empowered, we strengthen innovation, collaboration, and long-term performance.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are a strategic driver of performance, innovation, and long‑term sustainability. We believe that when People feel respected, valued and able to bring their whole selves to work, they collaborate more effectively and contribute to stronger outcomes for customers, colleagues and communities.

This conviction underpins our People Powered Excellence strategy and our ambition to be both a responsible employer and an employer of choice. It is reflected across our Culture and People practices - from recruitment and development to performance management and people growth.

Our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is translated into concrete actions at both Group and local level.

Guided by the DEI Group Guideline, our approach spans the entire employee lifecycle and aims to ensure that fairness is embedded across the organisation. Our strategy focuses on three interconnected pillars: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

We see diversity as a competitive advantage for Generali. Different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds help us think, innovate, and grow more effectively, while supporting the wellbeing of our People and strengthening our organisation.

Our priority is to encourage diversity across gender, generations, backgrounds, cultures, and identities, while consistently attracting  people and building diverse leadership pipelines that reflect the societies we serve.

To this end, we have developed several initiatives focused on Gender Equality and Generational Inclusion.

Equity ensures that everyone has access to fair opportunities and the resources needed to succeed.

To support fair and merit-based opportunities for all, Generali embeds DEI principles into core HR processes and decision-making frameworks, ensuring equal access to development, career progression, and leadership roles.

A key priority for us is pay equity and transparency. We continuously monitor compensation practices through structured analyses and align our approach with evolving regulatory frameworks, while progressively adopting recognised external certifications.

Inclusion is how Diversity and Equity come to life every day.

We work to foster inclusive leadership behaviours, psychological safety, and a strong sense of belonging, so that everyone can contribute with confidence and authenticity. When we feel respected, heard, and empowered, we contribute with purpose and feel part of a shared vision. That’s when we give our best.

Across the Group, several initiatives help promote awareness and engagement around inclusion.

• Together Week marks International Women’s Day and reinforces our commitment to gender equality.
• Pride participation is a visible expression of our support for LGBTQI+ communities, including the Group’s presence at Milan Pride and initiatives across several countries.
• Inclusion Day encourages dialogue with internal and external voices on building more inclusive workplaces.
• International Day of Persons with Disabilities promotes awareness and accessibility, highlighting the importance of small, conscious actions that help everyone unlock their potential and contribute fully.

To further advance our Inclusion journey also by strengthening and leveraging executive sponsorship and local activation, Generali supports two Employee Resource Groups (ERGs): TOGETHER, dedicated to empowering women across the organisation, and WE PROUD, bringing together and advocating for our LGBTQI+ community. These networks foster dialogue and help build a more inclusive workplace across the Group.
