On November 11, 2024, Maersk H2S Safety Services Italia Srl proudly received the prestigious gender equality certification, UNI/Pdr 125:2022. This certification, supported by Italian law and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), aims to bridge the gender gap in the labor market and enhance social cohesion.

The certification process evaluates 33 indicators across six key areas: Culture and Strategy (15%), Governance (15%), Human Resources Processes (10%), Growth Opportunities (20%), Pay Equity (20%), and Parental Protection and Work-Life Balance (20%).

In line with this achievement, Maersk H2S Safety Services Italia Srl is committed to ongoing training and awareness programs for employees, clients, and suppliers to promote gender equality. To further these values, the company hosted the “Poter Contare” event at the Assoil School in December. The event featured contributions from APS Spaziodonna and a powerful testimony from Filomena Lamberti, who shared her experience of surviving an acid attack in 2012. Lawyers Adele de Notaris and Paola Pesce, volunteers from APS, presented Filomena’s story.

Since 1978, APS has been supporting women victims of gender violence in Salerno, providing empowerment, psychological, and legal assistance through the Linearosa project. Over the past 46 years, APS has addressed various social needs, from employment to education and women’s healthcare.

During the event, Dr. Giuseppina Scarpitta, a member of the UNI/PdR 125:2022 Maersk H2S Safety Services Italia Srl’s Steering Committee, explained the certification details. Psychologist Dr. Caterina Cerbino discussed gender stereotypes and psychological violence, highlighting available services in Basilicata, including listening centers, shelters, anti-violence centers, and the Listening Center for Abusive Men in Potenza.

Dr. Rossana Briglia, Medical Director at PSA AOR S.Carlo and founding member of OIKOS social cooperative, emphasized the need for more data and support services in the Val d’Agri area, encouraging discussions on how to better assist women in leaving violent family environments.

“Achieving gender equality certification is a significant milestone for our company. It reflects our commitment to the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, starting with gender equality and reducing inequalities. Since January 2023, we have also implemented a second-level supplementary agreement with trade unions, supporting parenting, work-life balance, and individual rights,” said Rocco Carone, General Manager of Maersk H2S Safety Services Italia Srl.

Join us in promoting gender equality and supporting women in the workplace. Together, we can make a difference.

Two decades ago, in the heart of Brazil’s bustling oil industry, a dedicated group of professionals stood guard against a hidden danger: Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S). Among them was Roberto, who would later become a leader at Maersk H2S Brazil. But let’s rewind time to find Roberto as the local H2S Supervisor, leading by example aboard an oil platform in Brazil.

Back then, safety gear wasn’t as sleek and lightweight as it is today. The H2S emergency drills demanded unwavering commitment. Heavy steel bottles from SCBA PA-80 were the crew’s lifelines. Roberto stood tall in protective gear, embodying a steadfast commitment to his responsibilities.

As the sole local H2S Supervisor in Brazil, Roberto scanned the horizon for signs of danger. When the alarm sounded, he promptly took charge, ensuring a clear understanding of assigned roles among the crew members. His experience guided them, teaching not just protocols but the spirit of safety—the unwritten rules that could save lives.

Today, as Roberto leads the management team at Maersk H2S Brazil, he carries the legacy of those intense days. The heavy steel bottles have given way to modern equipment, but the spirit remains.

The image captures Roberto during an H2S emergency drill 20 years ago. His leadership continues to inspire us.

“It made me realize that with the right mindset and preparation, I can conquer any obstacle that comes my way, which is the approach I have to my job”.
