One of a kind – a progressive strategy
Such a great achievement for Clerprem plant in Carrè: gender equality certification
In December 2023, after a procedure lasted 6 month, Clerprem achieved its gender equality certification; Clerprem is an example at local and national level, on such a matter, of its progressive strategy . With the aim of building an inclusive workspace that values all diversity of our resources, the Clerprem management team worked to certify the company through the CSQA commissioning body, in cooperation with Iqunet, Accredia and UNi.
What we have always believed in
Clerprem has always been very pre-positive and innovative on many aspects related to the business model applied to guide the industry. The board of directors has always made major efforts to prioritize the wellbeing, workplace improvements and safety of the company internal resources. With the aim of building a work culture based on valuing differences and inclusion, the company has recently committed itself to the implementation of work policies based on gender equality.
Women are our majority workforce
After more than 50 years in the automotive and railway industry, on the contrary to what one might think and stereotyping the field of interest related to cars and public transport, Clerprem’s workforce is mostly composed of ladies and girls of all ages and nationalities. The internal resources are, in fact, 60% women and among them 40% hold managerial positions.
“I believe that the way women work in our company is very often more precise and more detailed; our ladies are very diligent and pay attention to detail which is a great competitive advantage for the type of business” says Mr. Marchesi.
A culture carried on between different generation and developed over the years that differs from its peers within this industry sector.
