SOCIAL

When someone joins Tecniplast, it is not just a hiring procedure. It marks the beginning of a structured, personalised development journey that includes onboarding paths, motivational interviews and continuous training opportunities at every stage of the professional experience.
It is a system designed not to “assign a role”, but to help bring out potential, aspirations and skills.

Our training ecosystem combines:

• on‑the‑job shadowing
• internal academies such as the Step‑Up Academy
• classroom sessions led by internal or external trainers
• short assignments within other companies of the Tecniplast Group
• an annual training catalogue aligned with evolving business needs and emerging trends.

This approach is supported by dedicated budgets, regular managerial meetings, and evaluation systems based on competencies and KPIs, forming a mosaic that blends individual growth with organisational evolution.

As stated in our Business Code of Conduct and Human Capital Management Policy, merit—regardless of gender, ethnicity, political orientation, religious belief, or physical condition— is not a mere declaration of intent: it is the principle guiding recognition, rewards, internal mobility and evaluation systems based on measurable objectives.

Internal job postings, transparent career dialogues, and open discussions with managers help ensure that every Person can access growth opportunities aligned with personal ambitions.
An open social dialogue and active listening are key elements for placing People at the centre: through an easily accessible HR Team that plays a role of integration and mediation, facilitating dialogue between different functions and supporting shared decisions; through cross‑functional committees focused on strategic topics; through discussions with employer associations, schools and Workers’ representatives. We cultivate the foundations for a positive and constructive work environment.

At Tecniplast, inclusion becomes concrete through:

• internal procedures and Gender Equality Certification
• anonymous reporting channels
• awareness initiatives on harassment, micro‑aggressions, and unconscious bias
• protected training environments for people with disabilities

All contribute to creating a climate in which everyone can feel safeguarded, heard and valued.
We promote long-standing initiatives dedicated to the inclusion of people with disabilities; one of them is the training islandwith tutoring created with the CFPIL — Professional Training and Work Placement Centre of the Province of Varese. Thanks to this programme, some trainees with disabilities gain skills through shadowing and, in many cases, secure stable employment within the company, transforming a temporary experience into a meaningful life opportunity.

Every year, Tecniplast conducts in-depth salary analyses to ensure fair compensation aligned with market benchmarks, responsibilities, and measurable results. Our goal is simple: guaranteeing real, not only perceived, fairness by orienting adjustments consistent with role, responsibilities, performance and by closing any gaps, in accordance with applicable Collective Agreements and our internal equity procedures.

Safety, too, is not treated as a regulatory obligation but as a shared culture. Continuous training, updated documentation, “training breaks,” and a dedicated safety pillar within our continuous improvement system show how deeply safety is integrated into our daily operations.

Work flexibility supports both people’s needs and organisational effectiveness. Smart working, adaptable schedules, and dedicated initiatives for parents and caregivers help balance personal and professional life. In departments with a predominantly female workforce, flexibility is specifically designed to sustain work‑life balance and production continuity.

Our welfare initiatives include:

• psychological and nutritional counselling
• prevention days, vaccinations and medical screening campaigns (including programmes with ANVOLT – National Association of Volunteers Against Tumours)
• first‑aid and choking‑relief courses
• Workplace Health Promotion (WHP) programmes
• parenting and women’s leadership support
• family days, sports partnerships and broad health‑promotion activities

Tecniplast’s commitment extends beyond company gates. Through our internal Solidarity Committee, we support families facing difficulties, as well as organisations dedicated to childhood autism and paediatric haematology-oncology.
Our cultural and environmental initiatives include:

• maintenance of public green areas
• projects to reduce printing
• cultural sponsorships and artistic workshops with local associations

We also support local amateur sports clubs, promoting values such as commitment, inclusion, and teamwork.
Public institutions find a proactive partner in us through donations to first‑aid organisations (including vehicles and equipment), and contributions to Civil Protection and emergency services, reinforcing the safety network of our territory.

One of the most distinctive elements of our social engagement is the strong collaboration with schools, technical institutes, universities, and research centres in Italy and abroad.
Our initiatives include:

• school‑to‑work programmes
• curricular and extracurricular internships
• company visits and classroom lectures
• participation in career days
• summer camps supporting families

All help maintain a strong link with the educational world, guiding students and helping them discover the opportunities of modern industry.

Scholarships and academic collaborations on teaching and specific projects are also active.
Alongside this, partnerships with research centres and innovation hubs help develop skills and strengthen territorial competitiveness.
