Responsible Employer

Power to embrace differences

Christian Kanu from Generali Global Corporate & Commercial
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) and Sustainability are essential aspects where "how" matters as much as "what." At Generali, we understand this well, as Sustainability is central to our strategy, with specific goals set as part of our commitment to being a responsible employer.

Embracing differences has a transformative power for people as well as for organizations. Implementing DE&I involves considering the timeframe, raising awareness, and ensuring everyone, from bottom to top, is on board. I see parallels between the evolution of the US National Basketball Association and today's business world. Like the NBA's journey from a mainly North American talent pool to a global mix, companies can benefit from more diverse teams, as studies, including McKinsey's and BlackRock's, show a link between diversity and superior performance.

At GC&C, we support the Generali Group's vision and actively contribute to the Group's goals as a Responsible Employer. But how does DEI translate in our everyday job? In a nutshell, for me:

  • Diversity contributes to expanding the talent pool for hiring.

  • Equity means treating employees fairly.

  • Inclusion creates conditions for employees to perform at their best.


As the CEO of Generali GC&C, I aim to go beyond numbers, setting realistic yet ambitious goals for sustainable change. Our commitment includes building a high-performing organization through a diverse talent pool, meritocracy, and an inclusive environment. It's a journey mirroring personal growth, focused not just on today's success but on reaching new heights together for a sustainable future.
