Promotion of gender equality and diversity

Adif assumes a strong business commitment to gender equality, placing it within its priorities in the field of people management, corporate culture and social responsibility.

At Adif we are working decisively to eliminate barriers and achieve full gender equality by 2030. Women are underrepresented in all professional groups, especially in positions related to operational tasks linked to historically masculinized careers. They are also underrepresented, although significantly less so, in management positions, where women barely reach 21% of Adif's employees.

The commitment to a diverse and inclusive company, in which equality is a reality, is materialized through the following initiatives:
