Pérez-Llorca has signed the first Equality Plan negotiated with the Federation of Services, Mobility and Consumption of the General Union of Workers (UGT) and the Federation of Services of CCOO, in order to promote the development and professional career of women at the firm.

The objectives of the Equality Plan are to advance in equal opportunities and treatment between women and men, to further integrate the gender perspective and to guarantee equal pay for work of equal value. A monitoring committee has been created to ensure compliance with the plan and to carry out a six-monthly analysis and annual evaluation of the plan.

Among the training actions included in the Equality Plan are mentoring programs, leadership training for women, as well as awareness-raising sessions on key equality concepts such as the gender gap, co-responsibility and equal opportunities. Specific measures related to gender violence are also included.
