The plan aims to ensure equal treatment and opportunities between men and women and to eliminate any trace of gender discrimination. To achieve this goal, a set of key areas focused on the following will be addressed:

• Access to employment.
• Promotion.
• Training. 
• Remuneration. 
• Reconciliation and shared responsibility.
• Prevention of gender-based abuse or harassment at work.
• Gender violence.
• Health and social wellbeing.
• Communication.

In addition, a monitoring plan has been devised with annual reviews to evaluate the scope of these measures and to plan the strategy for the following year.

New features include the expansion of the chapter on reconciliation to include concepts such as flexibility and shared responsibility, with the aim of raising awareness about equality as a broad social issue that affects both men and women. New chapters have been added on health and wellbeing at work, under the general area of health and safety, and on communication, reflecting the importance of using language and audio-visual communication that upholds equality.

The agreement was signed by Vicente Sánchez, the General Secretary of CCOO Construction Services, and Carlos Romero, General Secretary of MCA-UGT, Industry Federation, meanwhile Ana Villacañas, the General Manager of the FCC organisation, and María Sánchez, the HR Manager of FCC Construcción, signed on behalf of FCC.

This new plan continues on from the plan created on 19 November 2008, and will remain in effect until 31 December 2018. With this plan, FCC Construcción and the FCC Group as a whole are reinforcing their commitment to equality between men and women; adding new measures in areas such as communication or health and safety at work and developing other areas. All this is done with the firm belief that the Equality Plan signed and presented today must serve as an efficient tool for achieving effective equality between women and men.
