At least two out of ten Leonardo employees are now also shareholders of the Group. The percentage increases in the United Kingdom, where the take-up rate in the first step of the Employee Share Ownership Plan promoted by Chief Executive Officer Roberto Cingolani reached 35%. On average, considering other geographies such as Poland and the United States, approximately 11,000 employees subscribed to Leonardo shares, representing 22% of the workforce.

As explained by Antonio Liotti, Chief People and Organisation Officer of Leonardo, “The objective was to reach 15%, so we went beyond expectations.” The plan was supported by an internal communication campaign that highlighted the incentive mechanisms, such as the free allocation of shares, additional bonuses and flexible subscription methods.

In support of participants, a digital simulator was also developed to assess different scenarios over time, with the aim of encouraging stable participation. Take-up was higher among employees under 40. A result which, as Antonio Liotti points out, “stems from having a large number of young people among our workforce, thanks to a strong recruitment plan that has led to 20,000 hires over three years.”

Looking towards the future, Liotti explains how “with the next tranches of the plan we aim to involve a greater number of shop-floor workers. This is also part of a growth path that we are supporting through a broad digitalisation process.”

The plan includes three allocation cycles (2025, 2026, 2027), with the next window scheduled between June and September 2026.
