Diversity
Since the firm’s founding, BonelliErede has always had the interest of its people at heart, regardless of one’s gender, ethnicity, religion, etc. In 2021, the partners approved the introduction of pink quotas within the Board which ensures the presence of at least one woman on the Board. Today, the Board is made up of 7 partners of which 3 are women, and the number includes the firm’s Managing Partner Eliana Catalano.
BonelliErede has a dedicated D&I Committee, firstly launched in July 2021. The committee is made up of partners, associates and business support staff –believing that only by putting people from across the firm together it is possible to really address the importance of inclusion. Diversity & Inclusion is promoted and analysed at all stages, starting from the hiring process and all throughout peoples’ time within the firm.
In 2023, BonelliErede adopted its D&I policy.
More recently, BonelliErede has launched the “D&I Talks”, a series of events open to internal people and externally, organised at our offices by our Diversity & Inclusion Committee. The initiative aims to foster discussions on topics related to diversity and inclusion, such as biases hidden in the language and how to protect and support in context of gender-based violence.
The firm was also awarded the bronze medal from Ecovadis, one of the leading international platforms for the assessment of corporate sustainability criteria.
