Gender Equality Policy

The Path Towards Gender Equality

With the aim of best fulfilling its mission and in line with its strategic vision, AM AUTOMATIC MACHINES SRL has decided to adopt a Gender Equality Management System (GEMS) compliant with UNI/PdR125:2022, as a valuable tool to ensure gender equality regarding the presence and professional growth of women, enhancing inclusive culture and activating processes capable of developing female empowerment.

Guiding Principles

The fundamental Principles underlying AM AUTOMATIC MACHINES SRL's Gender Equality Policy are:

• Impartiality and Inclusivity
• Fairness and Transparency
• Personnel Development
• Protection of Individuals
• Opposition to All Forms of Violence and Discrimination

Management's Commitment

To foster the achievement of the stated principles and objectives, the Management of AM AUTOMATIC MACHINES SRL considers the continuous adoption of the GEMS fundamental to develop an organizational model that promotes gender equality and values equity and inclusivity.

AM AUTOMATIC MACHINES SRL commits to:

• personally ensuring respect for the principles of equity and inclusion in all company processes;
• promoting information, awareness, and employee engagement actions on equal opportunities and female empowerment issues, avoiding stereotypes and promoting the visibility of women's contributions;
• appointing at least one internal gender equality representative, with the task of monitoring and promoting initiatives consistent with UNI PdR 125:2022.

Commitment to Inclusive Culture

Management commits to contributing to an inclusive culture; specifically to:

• Valuing differences: we promote an environment that recognizes, respects, and values differences in gender, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and ability.
• Awareness raising: we activate training and communication moments to stimulate awareness on issues related to equality, overcoming stereotypes, and unconscious biases.

The inclusive culture is then divided into commitments in different company contexts.

Specifically, the commitments undertaken by AM SRL are:

Commitment in HR Processes, Growth Opportunities, and Pay Equity

• Impartial processes: selection, evaluation, promotion, and professional development are based on objective and transparent criteria, free from any form of discrimination.
• Pay equity: we commit to detecting and closing any gender pay gaps, promoting a meritocratic and fair system.

Commitment to Work-Life Balance

• Parental support: we guarantee equal rights and opportunities for mothers and fathers, supporting access to leave, permits, and flexible work arrangements.
• Flexibility measures: we implement organizational solutions that promote balance between private and professional life for all employees.

Compliance, Transparency, and Accountability

• Regulatory compliance: we guarantee compliance with current legislation on equal opportunities, non-discrimination, and inclusion.
• Transparent communication: we commit to openly and accessibly communicating our objectives, results, and improvement plans in the area of diversity, equality, and inclusion (DE&I).

Continuous Improvement and Monitoring

• KPIs and measurement: we adopt an indicator system to monitor performance in gender equality matters and guide corrective actions.
• Periodic review and update: this policy is subject to annual review to ensure consistency with regulatory developments and company needs.

Commitment to External Promotion

Management commits to actively promoting, even outside its own organizational context, the principles of equity, inclusion, and equal opportunities, spreading the culture of gender equality through communication, collaboration, and awareness initiatives aimed at customers, suppliers, partners, and local communities.

These actions are an integral part of the company's social responsibility strategy and contribute to building an ecosystem of relationships based on respect and the enhancement of diversity.

Policy Monitoring and Implementation

At AM Automatic Machine srl, we believe that gender equality is more than an ethical duty, but a strategic opportunity to generate shared value based on our internal diversity. For this reason, we are committed every day to creating a fair, respectful, and inclusive work environment for everyone.

Policy Dissemination

The gender equality policy is communicated and disseminated to all personnel and stakeholders through internal communication and publication on institutional channels.
