The Group has long been driven by the desire to offer a work environment in which its male and female employees can flourish and feel included. In 2021, STEF committed to prioritising gender diversity and equality in the workplace, which complement our diversity and inclusion policy. An assessment was conducted that led to the creation of a gender diversity and equality initiative called MIX’UP. Its goal is ambitious: for women to account for 25% of the workforce by 2030.
Increase gender diversity in teams
Ensure integration into and career development in a fair way
Promoting a work-life balance
Adapt our working conditions and environments
Changing the image of our professions
Creation of an inclusive and committed network
The MIX'UPers network now has 135 STEF employees in 8 countries. All volunteers and enthusiasts, they embody and deploy the Group's approach to professional equality between women and men in the field. Their mission? To support and implement the MIX'UP approach by running awareness-raising workshops, creating discussion spaces, and participating in local management committees to develop action plans. They actively contribute to the fight against stereotypes and to changing the image of our professions.
Since 2025, they have also been trained and equipped to support teams in the fight against sexism in all its forms.
Strengthening the culture of equality
In order to raise awareness among employees about gender equality, numerous communication initiatives are being deployed within the Group. Our video newsletter allows us to meet employees across our countries to discover testimonies, feedback and insights on gender equality in the workplace. As part of the ega pro meetings, experts regularly lead conferences on general culture topics on gender equality in order to open the debate.
Ladies fisrt programme
The Ladies First programme, created in Italy in 2018, offers STEF employees a space for exchange and personal and professional empowerment. Initially intended for women, it was later opened up to male employees, with the aim of promoting constructive dialogue and providing other points for reflection and exchange on issues of gender diversity and professional equality. This programme has enabled various initiatives to be launched to improve working environments and relationships, and to promote integration and fair career development.
