FCC Construcción’s Equality Plan
Monitoring Committee is established
On 9 June, the Monitoring Committee
of FCC Constucción’s Equality Plan was
established, comprising company repre-
sentatives and legal representatives of the
workforce with the active participation of
CCOO and UGT, the most representative
trade unions.
The Committee will monitor the develop-
ment and execution of the measures con-
templated in the Equality Plan; review the
evolution, and propose recommendations
to try to improve and facilitate the achieve-
ment of the defined objectives.
The members of the Monitoring Commit-
tee will be responsible for monitoring the
plan, implementing measures, and for
ensuring equality and diversity within the
Company.
The meeting for establishing the Monito-
ring Committee of the 2nd Equality Plan
of FCC Construcción seized the oppor-
tunity to inform on the actions executed
in the past year: campaigns; registration
of women in the Program for Developing
Pre-Executives of Escuela de Organiza-
ción Industrial (the Industrial Organization
School, EOI); changes introduced in the
work calendar of the central offices that
imply more flexibility; and the award of the
Equality Seal by the Ministry of Health, So-
cial Services, and Equality to FCC Cons-
trucción.
Since 2008
FCC Construcción signed its first Equality
Plan in November 2008; a plan that sets
out several measures and proposals for
equality and for no gender-based discrimi-
nation which promotes the role of women
in the workplace, ensuring their rights and
encouraging a corporate culture of equa-
lity and diversity, a commitment that is still
in force as part of the Company’s policy.
FCC Construcción’s second Equality Plan
was signed in 2015. Besides renewing the
fundamental principles of the first plan, it
includes the measures agreed with the
negotiating panel of this plan and the
Company’s commitment to take steps in
this direction and its ongoing improvement
efforts to promote, ensure, and guarantee
equality in the company.
The scope of the Plan includes all of FCC
Construcción employees and the workers
at all of the subsidiaries of this division that
do not have their own Equality Plans and
are subject to the provisions of the general
agreement of the construction sector. This
plan implies working in different fields of
action to make it possible to reduce diffe-
rence and generate value in social-labour
equality and diversity and which, therefore,
promote measures in this respect, inclu-
ding, access to jobs, promotion, training,
remuneration, health and welfare at the
workplace and flexibility, conciliation of
work and family life, and co-responsibility.
The Equality Plan also includes a special
chapter dedicated to women who are vic-
tims of gender violence and another chap-
ter on the prevention of harassment at
work, one of the Company’s public com-
mitments in the fight against any type of
violence against women. Communication
and awareness are included in another
section of the Plan with the aim of gene-
rating serious measures and a culture that
facilitates the integration and implemen-
tation of measures that promote equali-
ty among people from the standpoint of
equality and non-discrimination.
The Equality Plan, therefore, is a compen-
dium of the measures agreed to by the
Company’s representatives and the legal
representatives of the staff with the acti-
ve participation of the most representative
trade unions, CCOO and UGT.
