Employees receive the information and training they need to perform their duties, encouraging their participation in the development of the company's prevention policy.
Programmes and Results
Equality Plan
Navantia's Equality Plan promotes actions that ensure compliance with values and ethical principles related to equality and diversity in labour relations. It establishes measures aimed at increasing female representation in management and leadership positions, correcting gender imbalances between professional groups and eliminating the gender pay gap. Equality and diversity are integrated into all human resources policies, providing tools aimed at talent development and retention.
This plan applies at all levels and includes actions and objectives in different areas: culture, communication and corporate image; equal pay; recruitment; training and development; reconciliation and flexibility; as well as prevention of workplace and sexual harassment.

Workplace harassment
Navantia has protocols for the prevention of and response to cases of sexual harassment or harassment based on sex, which have been jointly agreed by Management and employee representatives. These protocols address two key aspects: the prevention of harassment and the company’s response to complaints for this reason, establishing two types of actions:
Measures aimed at raising awareness, preventing and avoiding situations of harassment or potentially constituting harassment.
An internal procedure for cases in which, despite efforts to prevent such conduct, an employee may lodge an internal complaint or grievance.
Equality and diversity
Navantia understands diversity as a value-creating asset that fosters innovation and enriches its employees both personally and professionally, who are key to achieving the company’s objectives and success.
Diversity is considered not only in terms of gender, but also cultural, generational and ideological diversity, sexual orientation, different abilities, skills and competencies, as well as any other personal, physical or social condition.
As a sign of this commitment, Navantia has a diversity and gender equality strategy.
Training and Development
Navantia takes an active part in job fairs to offer vacancies to recent graduates and organises events and employment activation days such as “Empower Your Future” or the “Itinere” days to increase the number of new hires of women and recent graduates. Navantia also promotes technical and scientific vocations among women.
People's talent
For Navantia, having the best talent in its workforce and providing it with the tools it needs to grow with the company is a key element in its people management strategy. To this end, it has procedures in place to attract and retain talent, provide training and professional development, foster an environment of equal opportunities and ensure the quality and stability of employment, among other aspects.
Navigators of Change
Navantia works actively to maintain the engagement of the people who are part of the company and to turn them into its best ambassadors. To this end, they are involved in different initiatives such as breakfasts with Management, mentoring and reverse mentoring programmes, events for new recruits and the internal Navigators of Change programme.

Partnerships and Social Value
Navantia considers a priority to strengthen its partnerships with universities, organisations, NGOs and foundations in order to promote social action with real impact. These partnerships make it possible to combine academic knowledge, community engagement and transformative capacity, generating projects that respond to current social challenges and strengthen the link between the company and society. Investing in these synergies means moving towards a more inclusive, sustainable and purpose-driven model.
Likewise, creating networks with foundations, NGOs and local associations strengthens companies' roots in their territories, generating strong ties with the communities in which they operate. These partnerships make it possible to design social projects aligned with corporate values.
