People First
We are steadfast in our commitment to enhancing the happiness of our colleagues and the communities we serve. This is the foundation of our People First, our primary strategy.
Putting people first
People First is our strategy for delivering an optimal work experience to employees. We define happiness as fostering an inclusive environment built on trust, where you can be authentically yourself and every talent is valued and respected. This is how we bring our company values to life: generating a positive energy that originates internally and extends outward, thereby influencing both communities and stakeholders beneficially.
A Commitment That Starts From Within
The Fater Group is made up of over 1,500 people: the beating heart of our strategy. We cultivate a dynamic environment that values diversity and is driven by a shared commitment to doing what is right, guided by six thematic pillars with measurable goals.
This vision is put into action through various initiatives, including active listening, training and coaching, inspirational talks and events, and programs that support the well-being of our people.
We listen actively to understand our needs and evaluate our actions.
We actively listen to our colleagues through surveys, focus groups, and open dialogue. This ongoing engagement results in concrete initiatives on important topics like hybrid work and work-life balance.

We nurture people’s talents and help them shine.
We achieve this thanks to the “70-20-10” model, which comprises a combination of practical experience (70%), mentoring and coaching (20%), and formal training (10%). This formal training includes onboarding programs for the development of soft and technical skills for all. Over the past year, we have successfully delivered more than 82,000 hours of training.

We support the people's well-being in all its aspects: physical, mental, social, and financial.
In addition to internal campaigns and workshops, we offer tangible tools such as telemedicine and psychological support. This approach ensures we care for individuals in all aspects of their work and personal lives.

Inspire is our window to the world, always welcoming new perspectives.
Through the UXeL Academy, a series of talks featuring individuals who bring stories of excellence, we explore key themes of our People First strategy: inclusion, embracing failure, diversity, and the value of personal identity. These voices enrich the way we work and live every day.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) are essential pillars of our identity.
We have initiated concrete projects focused on inclusive language by joining the Manifesto of Non-Hostile Communication. Additionally, we have launched initiatives aimed at promoting gender equality, supporting parenting and caregiving, and encouraging corporate volunteering. These efforts are designed to create a more equitable, respectful, and open workplace for everyone.

Doing the right thing is at the core of all our actions
Through initiatives such as Do the Right Thing Month, we raise awareness and encourage discussions on important topics like ethics, corporate responsibility, safety, privacy, sustainability, and responsible data use. Engaging quizzes and interactive activities help turn these principles into everyday choices, making our values come to life in all that we do.

Ours is not just a slogan, but a cultural transformation. We believe that by cultivating the happiness of our people, we can transmit this energy to the outside world, to those who come into contact with what we do.

We collaborate with a network of partners built on trust and responsibility. 81% of our suppliers are assessed according to social and environmental criteria, because we believe that the quality of our impact begins with the supply chain.
Consumers
Through Market Product Insights, we actively listen to consumers’ needs. Surveys, focus groups and direct observation guide our choices, bringing each product closer to those who use it.
Community
We promote corporate volunteering and projects dedicated to supporting the most vulnerable people. With initiatives such as Spazio Donna, Pampers Village, urban regeneration campaigns and campaigns against hate, we encourage listening, inclusion and practical support at a local level.
