Gender Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Bologna Airport has always been at the forefront of gender equality, diversity and inclusion issues and has been promoting profound cultural change to overcome gender stereotypes.

This process has been underway for some time and has already led to significant results. In 2022, BA was the first airport in Italy to obtain certification for Gender Equality according to the Uni/PdR 125:2022 standard, achieving the maximum score possible.

In 2023, it reached another milestone with ISO 30415:2021 certification on diversity and inclusion. This certification assessed the airport's level of development in different areas: human resource management, governance, leadership, inclusive corporate culture, and relations with suppliers and stakeholders.

Today, our commitment continues with numerous projects, with the goal of increasingly reducing the gender gap and spreading an inclusive culture, even beyond the borders of the airport.

For example, in 2024 we participated in workshops in lower secondary schools to help girls and boys recognise and overcome gender prejudices, offering them support in making more informed study and work choices. At the same time, we offer training to all personnel to promote authentic sustainability; not only environmental, but also social and economic.
