Inclusive Workplace & Culture in Action
Championing gender equality in Italy
Nissan Italy’s commitment to equity took a major step forward this year with the achievement of the UNI/PdR 125:2022 Gender Equality Certification - an official recognition of the company’s efforts to support women’s career growth, ensure pay equity and create a truly inclusive culture. Women now represent 33% of Nissan Italy’s workforce, well above the national average of 22%, with seven women in managerial positions and three serving on the Management Committee.
Equipping women with road safety skills in South Africa
As part of Nissan South Africa’s ongoing commitment to inclusion and empowerment, MSPO colleagues organised a hands-on road safety session tailored for female employees. The initiative focused on equipping women with essential emergency skills, including how to safely and effectively change a tyre. Beyond the technical training, the session fostered a supportive environment that encouraged open dialogue around road safety challenges and preparedness. This initiative not only enhanced practical knowledge but also reinforced our culture of allyship, where colleagues actively support one another’s growth and confidence in everyday situations.
Making DEI meaningful in the UK
At our Sunderland Plant, a team of 74 volunteers of all levels were empowered to deliver the plant’s DEI awareness training. This saw more than 5,400+ employees undergo the training programme with an overall satisfaction score of 4.3 out of 5. Positively, the number of workers answering ‘yes’ to the question ‘do you feel like you belong at Nissan’ within the plant has grown from 81% last year to 93% this year.
