Non-Discrimination
Being part of the Bocconi community means embracing values such as independence, ethics, transparency, freedom of expression, equality, solidarity, diversity, merit, individual development, professionalism and social responsibility. The University is committed to fostering an academic environment free from all forms of discrimination, including those based on race, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability or sexual orientation.
Codes of Conduct for Faculty and Students and Honor Code
The University publishes and circulates the Codes of Conduct for Faculty and Students and the Honor Code. These documents commit everyone within the Bocconi Community to maintaining an academic environment for all students that is free from all forms of discrimination based on race, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability or sexual orientation.
Anti-Discrimination Service Desk
The University has established the Anti-Discrimination Service Desk with the aim of ensuring an inclusive environment and providing effective support to anyone who feels they have been victims of discrimination or harassment in the academic community. The service is entrusted to an Anti-Discrimination Counselor, who offers advice, counseling and guidance on procedures for protection with discretion and expertise.
Inclusive Communication Guidelines
The publication of the Inclusive Communication Guidelines (updated in June 2024) aims to increase awareness of how our choice of words, tone and behavior can influence the way other people see us. In particular, it provides the entire Bocconi community with linguistic strategies and tools for adopting language that is non-discriminatory and respects diversity.
Monitoring Organizational Climate
Bocconi works hard to create an inclusive, respectful environment for all its members. For this reason, community surveys on discrimination, diversity and inclusion are conducted periodically. The objective is to track organizational climate, increase awareness, and align the University with the best practices of internationally-renowned universities by implementing new actions in a continuous process of improvement. Through these monitoring actions and by giving a voice to those who work at the University, Bocconi strives to be a welcoming and inclusive place where equal opportunity, wellbeing and harmonious growth are prioritized.
