Aqualia receives Workplace Equality award from Spain's Ministry of Health
The Minister of Health, Social Policy and Equality, Leire Pajín, presented a Workplace Equality award this morning to Fernando Moreno, General Manager of Aqualia, FCC's water management subsidiary. A total of 39 companies received the award in recognition of the design and development of their gender equality policies.
Factors rated when choosing the winners include: implementation and results of equality plans; establishment of procedures and criteria for periodic evaluation of those plans; positive discrimination to actively enhance equal opportunities; organisation models and corporate social responsibility policies.
This award validates the measures under way at Aqualia, which are coherent with FCC policies and promote professional development and performance while assuring equal opportunities. The current Equality Plan was signed in 2009 with Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) and Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT) labour unions.
