In today's society, Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) need to become assets in which companies are truly invested, in order to maximize contributions to and from all internal and external stakeholders.
How is it possible to demonstrate your commitment to the management and enhancement of diversity in business processes?
The assessment concerning the application of the Guideline "ISO 30415: 2021 - Human Resources Management: Diversity and Inclusion" developed by ISO supports organizations in all sectors and of all sizes in the management process of D&I issues.

Let RINA be your D&I partner”.
The verification takes place through an assessment process that involves a documentary audit and an on-site audit at the organization premises and its sites. A certificate and report identifying strengths and areas for improvement will be issued. At the request of the organization, RINA will be able to provide the additional service for evaluating the implementation of the improvement actions resulting from the verification activity.
