A concrete commitment to a fair, inclusive and sustainable working environment
Cherasco, 15 June 2026 – Libellula Srl, an Italian software company specialising in the development of software for sheet metal working, is proud to announce that it has obtained the Gender Equality Certification in accordance with the UNI/PdR 125:2022 standard, issued by Bureau Veritas, one of the most authoritative certification bodies at international level.
This recognition is the result of an organisational process involving various departments within the company, which has transformed a cultural principle into concrete policies, tools and indicators to promote equity, inclusion and the empowerment of people.
For Libellula, gender equality is not merely a regulatory objective, but an integral part of the company’s broader vision: innovating technology whilst keeping people at the heart of it all.
Gender equality certification: what does it mean for Libellula?
Practice-based certification UNI/PdR 125:2022 introduces a system of indicators that enables organisations to measure and improve their equity and inclusion policies over time.
The aspects analysed include:
- equal opportunities in career progression and professional development
- transparency in recruitment processes and remuneration policies
- support for parenting and work-life balance
- promoting an inclusive corporate culture
- continuous monitoring using KPIs and improvement targets
In a sector such as industrial software and technology manufacturing, historically characterised by a strong male predominance, promoting concrete policies on gender equality is a crucial step towards creating more inclusive workplaces that are able to fully harness the talents of every individual.
A journey shaped by the involvement of people
One of the key elements of the project was the creation of a Steering Committee for Gender Equality, comprising people from various departments within the company.
The committee was tasked with overseeing the entire certification process, setting out policies, objectives and monitoring tools designed to ensure that organisational practices increasingly transparent, inclusive and focused on continuous improvement.
This work has also led to the development of internal training and awareness-raising initiatives, with the aim of strengthening a corporate culture based on respect, collaboration and shared responsibility.
«»Gender equality certification represents an important step in our journey towards organisational growth" – he says Eleonora Alessandria, HR Manager at Libellula and Chair of the Steering Committee for Gender Equality.
«»It means organising practices that affect people in an even more thoughtful way, recognising talent and creating the conditions for everyone to contribute to the company’s development.’.
Technological innovation and corporate culture
In the field of industrial software for sheet metal working, Libellula is internationally recognised for developing advanced CAD/CAM solutions designed to manage cutting processes.
Alongside technological innovation, the company has chosen over the years to invest in an organisational culture that prioritises people’s wellbeing, through corporate welfare initiatives, flexible working arrangements and projects aimed at improving quality of life in the workplace.
These include initiatives such as Mind The Break, parenting support programmes and community partnership projects, such as our contribution to the creation of the new public nursery school in Roreto di Cherasco.
Obtaining gender equality certification is therefore part of a broader process that combines technological innovation, social responsibility and a focus on the human aspect of work.
A commitment that looks to the future
For Libellula, certification is, above all, a long-term commitment.
Promoting gender equality means creating fairer and more sustainable working environments, in which diversity and a variety of perspectives become drivers of growth and innovation.
«We believe that a company’s value is not measured solely by its technological achievements, but also by its ability to create inclusive and respectful working environments» – he says Alberto Milanesio, General Manager of Libellula. «This recognition reinforces our commitment to continuing to grow as an organisation, putting people and the values that guide our work at the heart of everything we do.».
Upon obtaining the Gender Equality Certification, Libellula reaffirms its commitment to being not only a leading player in the manufacturing software sector, but also a company capable of combining innovation, inclusion and social responsibility, helping to build a fairer and more sustainable future for work.
