The jury of the 2016 edition also unanimously decided to recognize Estrella de Levante and Earth Fecundis ETT, for their efforts in the design and development of an Equality Plan -even when companies are not required to it- by creating equality commissions for monitoring and evaluation of equality plans and the implementation of measures that facilitate the development of the principle of gender equality and work, family and personal reconciliation.
Equality in business
