EQUALITY PLAN MAFLOW SPAIN AUTOMOTIVE

Maflow Spain Automotive has presented to its employees the EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PLAN FOR MEN AND WOMEN for the period from 2021 to 2025.

Article 14 of the 1978 Constitution proclaims the right to equality and non-discrimination on the basis of sex. Article 9.2 enshrines the obligation of the public authorities to promote the conditions for the equality of the individual and of the groups in which he or she is integrated to be real and effective.

Article 45.1 of the LOIEMH obliges companies to respect equal treatment and opportunities in the workplace. To this end, they must adopt measures aimed at avoiding any type of labor discrimination between women and men.
