Spotlight on...
Accountability & Governance
Massimiliano Messina Vice Chairperson, and Senior Vice President, Chief Finance, Administration and Strategy, Nissan AMIEO
In a period where AMIEO continues to navigate complexity and transformation, DEI has proven to be a strategic enabler. It strengthens the way we analyse and respond to challenges while diverse teams bring broader perspectives, enabling us to better understand market dynamics, assess risks more holistically, and drive inclusive growth strategies.
Since the launch of our first DEI report in 2023, we have taken important steps to ensure that inclusion is not only a value we speak about but a standard to hold ourselves accountable to. This report has become more than a reflection of our progress; it has become a symbol of transparency, a platform for learning, and a tool for driving cultural and operational change.
As leaders, we understand that accountability and governance are essential to embedding DEI into the core of our business. It is not enough to set intentions – we must measure our impact, challenge ourselves to do better, and ensure that our structures support sustainable progress. This report plays a critical role in that mission. It allows us to track our evolution, celebrate the initiatives that are making a difference, and identify where we must go further.
We are not only building stronger business foundations, but also creating an environment where people feel more connected and engaged. This is reflected in our Global Employee Survey results, which show a 3-point increase in DEI sentiment since FY22 – a signal that progress in our culture is driving confidence among our people.
I am proud of the commitment shown across AMIEO to uphold these principles – not only in our policies and programmes, but in the way we lead, collaborate, and make decisions. As we continue to navigate in a complex and fast-changing environment, DEI remains a key pillar of our resilience and long-term success.
Together, through transparency, shared responsibility, and a clear sense of purpose, we are building a culture where every individual feels seen, valued, and empowered to contribute to the success of our region – towards a cleaner, safer and more inclusive world.
