Enel in the Top 100 of the index compiled by Refinitiv, a global provider of financial data, ranking seventh globally and first among Italian companies. The index rewarded Enel's attention to gender diversity, to the policies of inclusion in the workplace and the development of human capital.
In particular, the Diversity and Inclusion index draws up a ranking of the top 100 listed companies that offer the workplace with the highest degree of diversity and inclusion worldwide, based on 24 parameters divided into four main categories: diversity, inclusion , people development and controversies. The index is then calculated by weighting each metric based on the company's importance in the market and on how each company compares to other comparable companies.
The reconfirmation of Enel in this ranking and the improvement of its position in the Top 100 compared to 2020, they are the result of initiatives aimed at promoting the presence of women on the board of directors and in management positions, as well as promoting the integration of people with disabilities, improving staff skills, as well as creating social benefits and solutions that guarantee work-life balance for all staff.
“We are honored to have been confirmed in the Refinitiv Diversity and Inclusion Index 2021 and to be recognized again as a leader in our industry grouping – commented Francesco Starace, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Enel -. This is a further important recognition of our continued commitment to the principles of equal opportunities and integrity, and is the result of our constant attention to gender diversity, workplace inclusion policies and human capital development. These sustainability principles are embedded in our operational activities and in the services we provide to our customers. Going forward, we are committed to further improving our performance in these areas, for the benefit of our stakeholders and with the aim of contributing to the creation of a more inclusive society.”
Furthermore, for the second consecutive year, the company led by Francesco Starace leads the industrial grouping "Electric Utilities & IPPs” of the Diversity and Inclusion Index. The index evaluates more than 11 companies on their diversity and inclusion performance based on publicly available information that Refinitiv gleans from company reports and media reports about them. Enel Américas, Enel's Latin American company, is also included in the index.
