Equality & Inclusion

Savio Macchine Tessili S.p.A. promotes an inclusive, fair and respectful work environment in which each person can express their potential regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation and identity, disability, ethnic origin, political opinions or religious beliefs.
Through policies and concrete actions, Savio actively contributes to the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, valuing diversity as a driver of growth and innovation.

Last April 2025, Savio obtained the UNI/PdR 125:2022 Gender Equality Certification, an official recognition that confirms our concrete commitment to equity, inclusion and valorization of diversity.
This important achievement stems from a deep and authentic corporate culture: Savio has always paid great attention to the well-being of its people, safety, welfare and social responsibility.
The certification strengthens and formalizes Savio commitment to building an increasingly fair and inclusive work environment. Savio firmly believes that diversity, especially gender diversity, represents a strategic value for the success and sustainability of the organization. Promoting equal opportunities, encouraging a balance between private and professional life, combating all forms of stereotypes and discrimination are principles that underpin its daily actions.

The path that led Savio to this result was divided into several phases:

Implementation of the management system

Introduction of policies and procedures aimed at ensuring equal treatment between men and women, structuring them in a system compliant with the regulations.

Calculation of the Score

Calculation of the equality score through specific indicators (KPIs) defined by the UNI/PdR 125:2022 practice, measuring Savio degree of inclusiveness in an objective and transparent way.

Verification by the DNV certification institution

DNV, as is the case for ISO certifications, examined Savio management system and supporting documentation, certifying their compliance with the required standards.

Monitoring and continuous improvement

The certification is valid for three years and requires constant updating to ensure compliance with the standards over time.

Listening to people

Through individual interviews with colleagues from various company departments, we were able to gather meaningful testimonials on the topic of equality, supporting the achievement of certification and guiding future actions.

In support of this commitment, has been established a Committee for Gender Equality, composed of:

Mauro Moro, CEO
Hans Beerbohm, Human Resources Director
Michela Bertoldi, Human Resources Manager, Head of the UNI/PdR 125:2022 Management System
Eva Babbo, Marketing & Communication Manager

The Committee will have the task of promoting concrete actions and monitoring their effectiveness.

In the coming months, training courses will be activated for all employees, with the aim of raising awareness and spreading greater awareness on the topic of equality. Furthermore, Savio will support initiatives and participate in events dedicated to inclusion and the valorisation of diversity, also through sponsorship activities and external partnerships.

This certification is not a point of arrival, but a new starting point. Together, we can continue to build a reality in which all people feel welcomed, respected and valued.
