Good practices for equal opportunities

Karizia has been a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council for some years, and the organisation has recently launched a campaign for gender equality. We know that women play a crucial role in the whole value chain of the jewellery sector, and that they are responsible for 90% of the overall demand for jewellery.
This is a very substantial figure, but unfortunately it is not always reflected in the roles and treatment allotted to women by companies in the sector.
Karizia has always paid special attention to gender equality, including on its board of directors; indeed, last year it had more female than male employees, with women making up 51% of the workforce.
The company also provides various forms of maternity support, offering flexible working hours and promoting a balance between life and work.
