FCC Medio Ambiente has signed its Second Equality Plan, which covers the company itself and its subsidiaries and joint ventures in Spain. This plan, which will remain in force until 2030, consolidates a firm commitment to effective equality between women and men and continues more than ten years of work in this area, which began when there was still no legal obligation to do so.

The company has implemented measures and developed policies that promote safe, inclusive and discrimination-free working environments, expressly integrating this commitment into its mission, vision and values.

The Second Equality Plan is based on a detailed assessment analysing more than twenty companies within the scope of the plan and a workforce of more than 32,000 people. The analysis confirms the progress made with the previous plan and, at the same time, identifies the challenges and priority objectives for the next four years.

The Plan incorporates more than a hundred measures structured into twelve strategic blocks, including:

• Positive action measures to promote the incorporation of women in positions where they are underrepresented.
• Equality training programmes aimed at the entire workforce, with specific actions targeting women.
• Identification of internal female talent to promote professional advancement.
• Progressive reduction of partiality and temporary employment.
• Annual monitoring of working conditions broken down by gender.
• Differentiated risk assessments.
• Enhanced protection in situations of pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Measures to prevent and eradicate any behaviour that could constitute sexual or gender-based harassment, including the dissemination of internal reporting channels.
• Specific protection measures for women who are victims of gender-based violence.
• New voluntary improvements that exceed the legal minimum requirements.
• Promotion of joint responsibility in all areas.
• Regular awareness campaigns on effective equality between women and men.
• The Plan has been negotiated and approved after more than eleven months of work between the company and the most representative trade unions, demonstrating a common commitment to moving towards a fully egalitarian culture.

FCC Medio Ambiente reaffirms its commitment to creating a diverse, inclusive and discrimination-free working environment. The company firmly believes that advancing equality is not only a responsibility, but also a way to improve people's well-being and strengthen the organisation's growth.
