Closing the gender gap at Carmignano Mill
Sappi is on a journey towards greater diversity and inclusion, cultivating a culture where all people can realise their potential. Carmignano Mill in Italy is helping to show the way. While women have traditionally been underrepresented in our industry, the mill is working to close this gender gap.
In 2020, women comprised 60% of new hires in 'white collar' roles spanning from innovation and process engineering to supply chain and customer service. Across Sappi Europe progress is also being made to attract more women to management roles. Since 2019, the proportion of women in management roles has increased from 13.6% to 16%.

When assessing income differentials we compare the person's salary to the midpoint of the salary scale for that level of position. For the purpose of gender income parity, we look for a close match between male and female. From on overall point of view there is a small pay gap between male and female with males being paid on average 10% above the salary scale midpoint and females 5% above the midpoint.
