The company had adopted an Equality Plan, a set of measures of equality and positive actions, which seeks to integrate the principle of equality between women and men in the company.

The characteristics that govern the Equality Plan are: it is designed for the entire workforce, not aimed exclusively at women, adopts gender mainstreaming as one of its guiding principles and a strategy for effective equality between women and men. This involves incorporating a gender perspective in the management of the company in all policies at all levels.

Participation through dialogue and cooperation of the parties (company management, the social and the entire workforce) is considered as one of its basic principles. It is preventive, eliminates any possibility of future discrimination by reason of sex. It has internal consistency, is dynamic and open to change depending on the needs that arise from monitoring and evaluation.

Part of the company’s commitment is to guarantee human resources and materials necessary for their implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

The plan also includes ‘Equal pay for work of equal value’, which means that the employer has the obligation to offer equal pay for the provision of equal work. Be it directly or indirectly, wage or non-wage, there may never be discrimination based on sex under any circumstances.
