Nearly 80% of companies with more than 50 employees submit equality plans to the Government
- Andorra la Vella, January 8, 2025 – The Ministry of Social Affairs, Justice and Interior has received equality plans from 79.5% of companies with more than 50 employees, meeting the December 31, 2024 deadline. This represents a significant increase from the previous year, when only 65% of companies had submitted their plans.
The equality plans are a requirement under the Law on Equality of Treatment and Non-Discrimination for Reasons of Gender, which was passed in 2021. The plans must include measures to promote gender equality in the workplace, such as equal pay for equal work, flexible working hours, and measures to prevent sexual harassment.
The Government has welcomed the increase in the number of companies submitting equality plans, and has urged the remaining companies to do so as soon as possible. “Equality is not just a legal obligation, it is also good for business,” said Social Affairs Minister Víctor Filloy. “Companies that promote gender equality are more productive, innovative, and profitable.”
The Government has provided support to companies in developing their equality plans, including through training and technical assistance. The Ministry of Social Affairs has also developed a website with resources and information on gender equality in the workplace.
The submission of equality plans is a significant step towards achieving gender equality in Andorra. The Government is committed to continuing to work with companies to promote gender equality and create a more inclusive and just society.
