96.7% open-ended contracts
82.7% supplier ESG audits
28.356€ billion of economic value generated for suppliers
We operate under a commitment to guarantee decent jobs in all the areas where we are present. To do so, we apply a Human Rights Policy that, among other principles, is aimed at eradicating child labour, facilitating freedom of association and offering decent employment. We conduct ESG assessments and audits with our suppliers, foster local procurement and take part in the First Export Programme.
In addition, our Equality and Diversity Plan includes our commitment to equality and involves people management initiatives related to three specific areas of action: gender, disability and age. Furthermore, workplace safety and risk prevention are key aspects in the daily management of the company, which are enshrined in the Health and Safety Plan.
Diversity and equality
We believe it is essential to foster diversity and equal opportunities and to create an environment based on respect, and constant listening and dialogue, paying special attention to achieving objectives in issues related to gender and the inclusion of people with disabilities, extending this commitment to suppliers and partner companies.
We promote an inclusive culture of awareness and actions that integrate and bring together diversity. This perspective of interest in people guides the company’s way of working and achieving its objectives, and it shares this vision with the entire value chain in the different businesses in which it operates.
This all-encompassing commitment is upheld in the Sustainability and People Strategy, the Corporate Responsibility Policy, the Code of Ethics, the Gender Equality Policy and the Workplace Harassment Prevention Protocol.
Commitment to equality
Our Equality Plan identifies the strengths that should be maintained and highlights the weaknesses that need to be corrected, as identified by an external expert. These points determine the path that should be followed, indicating actions in the areas of communication and awareness, culture and leadership, development and promotion, payment, flexibility and work/life balance, recruitment, harassment prevention, measurement and monitoring.
Our commitment to equality was awarded the “Business Equality Label” (DIE) by the Ministry of the Presidency, Relationships with Parliament and Equality in November 2018, which is still valid, for our implementation of equal opportunities policies through comprehensive, measurable equality plans with specific results. This certification is granted after an exhaustive process to verify activities related to equality with the aim of establishing the level of excellence and mainstreaming in management.
Diversity management
Diversity management is part of our commitment to a sustainable business project and it is being validated through initiatives implemented within three action lines: gender, disability and age.
- Gender: progress is being made in boosting the active role of women in different spaces in the company, consolidating the prioritisation of female management talent within the new organisational model, with the aim of moving forward in our commitment to finding a gender balance in the company.
- Disability: various actions are being with the aim of standardising the management of functional diversity namely, the Family Plan, the Capacitas Plan and the Aflora Plan.
- Age: working towards generational diversity through young talent acceleration actions, monitoring mobility and promotion.
Protocols
The creation and activation of a specific protocol to combat harassment, the protocol on best practice in recruitment processes and the communication guidelines for business professionals needing to get involved in a recruitment process for any reason are just some of the measures put in place that have led to major advances in terms of diversity and equality.
Specifically, the Harassment Prevention Protocol establishes preventative actions to avoid situations of harassment that include informing all employees of the existence of the protocol, training the entire workforce in this area, particularly employees with staff under their responsibility, the obligation and responsibility of every employee to establish relationships from a position of respect and dignity, and every employee’s obligation to inform his or her line manager of any case of harassment.
In another area of activity, the recruitment processes good practices protocol aims to avoid discrimination in recruitment processes, thereby expanding employability options.
