DIVERSITY, A SOURCE OF TALENT AND INNOVATION
At ACCIONA Energía we promote diversity, equity and inclusion in our teams, aiming to strengthen our capacity for resilience and business performance in the 25 countries where we are present.
We understand Diversity as the set of characteristics, both visible and invisible, that make each person unique and singular, providing a competitive advantage that allows us to address the complex challenges that threaten the world from innovative perspectives.
We consider Equity an essential duty, ensuring that all people receive fair and impartial treatment and have access to the support and resources necessary to thrive.
Finally, we conceive Inclusion as a strategy that values the individual characteristics of all people within the organization and creates opportunities so all can participate, fostering a diverse, inclusive environment that encourages respect, safety, performance, well-being, belonging and commitment.
These pluralities are a priority responsibility in our people management model, essential in fulfilling human rights, sustainable development and the goals set out in the 2030 Agenda.

Our initiatives to promote equity
Although the integration of female talent in the renewable energy sector has been expanded and supported in recent years, there is still much room for progress.
