Gender equality
In 2021, Galp has set the goal to work on an accelerated convergence to gender parity, by 2030, in all management and non-management positions.
Currently, at Galp, more than 44% of our employees are female, however the presence of female in leadership positions is below our ambition (35%). We are currently defining and implementing initiatives to leverage female leadership and empower women inside our organisation.
In 2023 and for the 6th year in a row, Galp published the Plan for Equality, a document approved annually by the Executive Committee which contains our main goals towards achieving effective equality of treatment and opportunities between women and men, promoting the elimination of gender discrimination, and fostering balance between personal, family and professional life.
Also this year, we carried out an analysis of salary equity, which was shared with our workers' commission, with the commitment to reduce the pay gap in the coming years, especially in management positions. In order to ensure this principle of equal pay for equal work or work for equal value, Galp applies the principle of performance meritocracy to the Promotions & Progression exercise leading to a previewed reduction of 20% in the gender salary pay gap.
We promote gender equality by expressing our commitment to the implementation of the seven Women’s Empowerment Principles of the United Nations. Besides that, in 2022, Galp continued to participate in the “Target Gender Equality” working group from the UN Global Compact, also renewing its partnership with PWN (Professional Women Network) and the Business Equality Forum – IGEN, a national body that promotes equality and non-discrimination between men and women at work, in employment and professional training.
