Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: Fidia launches its “Manifesto for Inclusive Language” 

Corporate

Fidia has chosen 21 May, the World Day for Cultural Diversity, to unveil its inaugural Inclusive Language Manifesto: ten guiding principles that serve not only as a communication initiative, but as a tool for cultivating a workplace that is ever more open, respectful and inclusive for every colleague across the globe. 

The importance of 21 May was further highlighted by an internal event where Fidia people were introduced to the Manifesto, explored the company’s commitment to Diversity & Inclusion and learned about the project’s goals and development. 

By articulating ten clear principles, the Manifesto marks the first step in Fidia’s commitment to inclusive communication. It is intended as a declarative reference to guide the entire organization toward mindful language and behaviors that align with the corporate values framework and reinforce Fidia’s ongoing pledge to evolve alongside its people.  

Discover the ten principles.

Developed in collaboration with Insana – the healthy agency, part of Edra S.p.A – the Manifesto is not a rigid rulebook, but rather a values-based compass designed to accompany all Fidia People throughout their professional journey and to help build a workplace where every voice is heard, respected and represented. 

This Manifesto is the tangible expression of our daily commitment to valuing people,” says Gianluca Magnani, Global People & Culture Officer of Fidia Farmaceutici.Inclusion is not merely about language; it is about attitudes, choices and relationships. It is a shared responsibility that we aim to embed in the way we work, to shape a corporate culture where everyone feels recognized, respected and empowered to drive change.” 

Paola De Benedetti, Head of Global Corporate Communication at Fidia Farmaceutici, adds: “The Manifesto is a profound reflection of our brand identity and value positioning. It integrates our DE&I priorities and reaffirms our commitment to the continuous evolution of our communication, our organization, and the pivotal role that communication plays within this ecosystem.”
