We have joined the network of companies that adhere to the regional project "Equally at work". We want to confirm our commitment to promoting gender equality, supporting women's employment and creating an inclusive and respectful work environment. The campaign is promoted by the Veneto Region and is related to the application of Regional Law no. 3 of 15 February 2022 "Provisions for the promotion of equal pay between women and men and support for stable and quality female employment".
Respect for the person, diversity and the work of each one is the cornerstone on which the Lafert corporate spirit is based. We join this project because we firmly believe that diversity is a resource and that promoting equal opportunities is not only a social duty, but also a competitive advantage.
