Every March 8, International Women’s Day invites us to reflect on the role of women in society and in the professional sphere. At Importaco, we believe that advancing towards more diverse and inclusive organizations is essential to building stronger and more sustainable companies.

That is why we work every day to promote a culture based on equal opportunities, talent development and respect for people. As highlighted by the international initiative of UN Women, gender equality is one of the fundamental pillars for achieving sustainable social and economic development. At Importaco, we share this vision and integrate it into the way we operate.

Equality within our organization

Women play an essential role in the development and growth of Importaco. Currently:

· 50% of our workforce are women

· 126 women hold positions of responsibility

· More than 34,000 hours of training are dedicated each year to the professional development of our team

These figures reflect our commitment to an organization where potential can grow at every level, fostering environments where people can develop, take on responsibilities and lead projects.We work to ensure that female talent is present across all areas of the company, strengthening a culture where diversity enriches decision-making and innovation.

Our commitment to equality and professional development

Equality to build a more sustainable future

For Importaco, sustainability is not only related to caring for the natural environment or improving our production processes. It also means building organizations that are fairer, more diverse and more inclusive.

We firmly believe that building a more sustainable future also means moving towards a more equal society, where everyone has the same opportunities to grow and contribute their talent.

On this International Women’s Day, we reaffirm our commitment to continue promoting a culture based on equality, respect and professional development.
