Gender diversity in Ferrovial

Ferrovial is firmly committed to effective equality of opportunities between men and women, which entails establishing internal mechanisms to bring out female talent inside and outside the organization. Proof of this was the signing, in January 2014, of the Voluntary Agreement of Collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Social Affairs and Equality. This includes the adoption of measures to increase the presence of women in management positions and management committees.
