Introduction

The Management of Ekuberg Pharma firmly believes that only motivated individuals, driven by strong passion and dedication and supported by adequate training, are capable of working every day to improve themselves, the company’s processes, and its services involving all employees, thereby generating value for themselves, for others, and for the community as a whole.

Quality must be understood as a corporate value in which everyone can identify themselves, while the tools provided by the Management System must be regarded as support instruments aimed at improving one’s work.

Within this framework lies the commitment to adopt a Quality Management System compliant with Regulation 745/2017/EU and subsequent amendments concerning medical devices, as well as with the standards UNI EN ISO 13485:2021, UNI EN ISO 9001:2015, UNI EN ISO 22716:2008, and UNI/PdR 125:2022, certified by an accredited Certification Body.

Our company is committed to promoting and maintaining an inclusive and respectful working environment, where every employee is valued regardless of gender.

Ekuberg recognizes that gender inclusion is essential to the company’s success and to the well-being of all team members.

Ekuberg Pharma’s decision is driven by its commitment and growing desire to strengthen the company spirit and remove organizational, human, and material obstacles that limit the expression and enhancement of individuals within the organization, with the aim of creating an increasingly collaborative, supportive, and inclusive workplace open to the contribution of all employees, while fostering a spirit of trust among people, customers, suppliers, and the wider community.

Objectives

At Ekuberg, the key words that give concrete meaning to every principle and value we strive to embody are:

TRUST, LISTENING, RESPECT, AWARENESS, AUTHENTICITY, COURAGE, PASSION, HARMONY and SHARED VALUES.

The Management of Ekuberg Pharma is firmly committed to promoting gender equality by ensuring equal opportunities for professional development and career growth for all individuals, regardless of gender, and by fostering a work environment in which everyone feels accepted, respected, and valued.

Staff awareness and training activities aim to create an adequate level of competence, understood as the ability to address the company’s technical and managerial challenges effectively and professionally, while also promoting awareness and continuous education on gender inclusion topics.

Great care and attention are given every day to preventing any form of discrimination or harassment based on gender.

Ekuberg Pharma Guidelines

The daily operations of Ekuberg Pharma revolve around key principles intended as constant points of reference to ensure the full satisfaction of customers and everyone working within the organization:

✓ CORPORATE VISION

To generate value, well-being, and health through products, people, relationships, and our way of operating, with the goal of creating a better world.

✓ CORPORATE MISSION

To develop and manufacture products that meet the real needs of consumers, ensuring they are safe, tested, and of high quality, in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Our mission is also to respond promptly and successfully to customer needs, ensuring consumer safety and promoting the full involvement of personnel at all levels.

✓ RESEARCH AND INNOVATION

These are the driving force behind Ekuberg Pharma and every healthcare project.

Ekuberg is committed to ensuring the continuous evolution of its products while simultaneously maintaining the high level of reliability achieved through R&D activities and clinical development supporting company projects.

Promoting research means fostering progress and preserving the company’s ethical commitment to creating products for individual well-being.

✓ HUMAN POWER – PEOPLE AT THE CENTER

Ekuberg actively strives to motivate its employees by encouraging them to contribute to collective success through creativity, uniqueness, and the sharing of their skills, while promoting both professional and personal development.

The company involves all employees in team decision-making processes through a people-centered leadership approach.

Ekuberg’s concept of “human power” embraces equity as providing everyone with equal opportunities while recognizing that each person starts from different circumstances and has different needs.

Hence, Ekuberg’s “TAILOR-MADE” approach characterizes all its processes, relationships, and business activities.

✓ COMMUNICATING THROUGH LISTENING

It is important that everyone can express themselves freely while respecting not only their own individuality but also that of others, using language and tones appropriate to the context and the people involved.

Language shapes our thinking and, consequently, our reality.

Communicating without prejudice and with deep, empathetic listening is both a human and professional necessity so that everyone feels understood and valued.

✓ SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The company places consumers at the center of its attention, acting as a positive ambassador of culture and information regarding personal health.

Therefore, it is essential to ensure a constant and effective commitment toward people and environmental respect, preserving natural resources and minimizing environmental impact.

Ekuberg has always been committed to optimizing natural resources through daily environmentally respectful actions.

✓ STAFF TRAINING

To achieve and maintain, through appropriate training activities, an adequate level of personnel competence, understood as the ability to address the company’s technical and managerial issues effectively and professionally.

Ekuberg has always promoted training and managerial development at all organizational levels by offering regular training programs for all employees on gender inclusion and diversity topics.

The company is committed to raising awareness about the importance of using inclusive and respectful language.

Furthermore, Ekuberg Pharma is committed to ensuring that recruitment, hiring, and promotion processes are fair and free from gender bias, while actively promoting the presence of women in leadership roles and in sectors traditionally dominated by men.

✓ PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT

To achieve and maintain an adequate level of punctuality and accountability toward oneself and others through professional commitment and careful activity planning, in order to meet commitments undertaken or expected by customers.

✓ FLEXIBILITY POLICIES

To implement flexible working policies that support work-life balance while taking into account the needs of all employees.

To provide equitable parental leave opportunities for everyone, regardless of gender.

✓ CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Continuous improvement of overall performance is a permanent and indispensable objective in order to keep pace with the demands of an ever-evolving market.

For this reason, it is important to promote and spread a culture of continuous improvement among suppliers and customers as well.

It is equally important to ensure that customer needs and expectations are clearly understood within existing processes and that customer satisfaction regarding provided products/services can be effectively monitored.

✓ DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS

Decisions are based on the analysis of constantly updated, measured, and verified data and information.

✓ MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH SUPPLIERS

Ekuberg and its suppliers are interdependent, and a mutually beneficial relationship enhances the ability of both parties to create value.

✓ SUPPORT AND RESOURCES

To provide resources and support for employees facing issues related to gender identity.

To establish support groups and committees aimed at promoting gender inclusion within the company.

✓ MONITORING AND EVALUATION

To conduct periodic assessments to monitor the effectiveness of gender inclusion policies and practices.

To carry out employee satisfaction surveys in order to collect feedback and identify areas for improvement.

Management is committed to documenting and disseminating this corporate policy at every organizational level, supporting its implementation and pursuing the company’s objectives.

Ekuberg Pharma is actively committed to creating a fair, respectful, and inclusive work environment where everyone can fully express their potential.

Gender inclusion is a strategic priority for our company.

Compliance with the Quality Management System and its continuous improvement over time will be ensured through inspections conducted by internal personnel and external auditors, as well as through periodic Management Reviews.

We invite all employees to actively support and promote this policy.
