We are a driving force for social contribution

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.

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.
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.
