“We know how competitive the market is and the difficulties some women face in selection processes when they cannot secure a job due to lack of qualifications or experience. Therefore, we will support their training and provide them with new opportunities, promoting greater diversity in our hiring processes,” explains Maria Castroviejo, head of the Organization, Talent, and Health area at ACCIONA in Brazil.

In the last ten years, the number of women professionals in leadership positions at ACCIONA worldwide has increased from 14.5% in 2011 to 21.6% in 2021, thanks to programs created to boost gender diversity within the company, demonstrating the company’s commitment to this theme.

ACCIONA is a global company, a leader in providing regenerative solutions for a decarbonized economy. Its services encompass renewable energy, water treatment and management, eco-efficient transportation and mobility systems, resilient infrastructures, among others. The company, which operates in more than 60 countries, has been carbon neutral since 2016. In 2020, ACCIONA reported revenues of € 6.4 billion.

About The University Line Or Line 6-Laranja In São Paulo

The University Line is responsible for the construction and implementation of the Line 6-Laranja subway in São Paulo. The new line will have a length of 15 kilometers, 15 stations, and will connect the region of Brasilândia – in the north zone – to São Joaquim Station – in the central region of the city – reducing a journey currently made by bus in about an hour and a half to just 23 minutes. The line is expected to transport over 633,000 passengers per day.

The largest infrastructure project currently underway in Latin America, the venture is a public-private partnership (PPP) between the Government of the State of São Paulo and the Concessionária Linha Universidade, of which ACCIONA is a partner. The construction work is being executed by the construction arm of the ACCIONA group, generating over 9,000 jobs. Once completed, Line 6 will be operated by Linha Uni for 19 years.

This initiative includes mentoring, training, and technical skills programs for women that the company has already been implementing in its operations in Brazil and that align with the pillars of ACCIONA’s 2025 Sustainability Master Plan (PDS).
