Promoting gender equality at all company levels

BUSINESSEUROPE expressed its full support to its Spanish member CEOE’s initiative on gender equality - Promociona project - at a high-level event, in the presence of the Spanish State Secretary of Social Affairs, MEPs, European Commission representatives and the Secretary General of CEOE. Deputy Director General Jérôme Chauvin stressed the importance of increasing gender equality at all levels of companies, not just in boards. The recipe for success lies in subsidiarity, flexibility and creativity, which are provided for by voluntary initiatives like Promociona rather than by binding quotas imposed by law.
