Once again this year, the FCC Group celebrates International Women's Day to show its commitment to equality, female leadership and diversity, hallmarks of the company's identity. This date has become an opportunity to analyze and reflect on the progress made in gender equality, as well as to identify the challenges that still persist in society. 

On the occasion of this day, FCC held a commemorative ceremony at the Las Tablas Corporate Headquarters, opened by Esther Alcocer Koplowitz, president of the FCC Group. In her speech, the chairwoman addressed these words to the women of the FCC Group who have been pioneers “I would like to remember, on this morning in March, all the women who have been pioneers in our Group. Women in positions that have traditionally been considered male, because, until now, the sectors in which we operate have been so”. “I conclude by thanking and congratulating all our female colleagues at FCC, who, setting an example of professionalism and good work, contribute every day to making our company and our society better”.

The meeting revolved around a round table, under the slogan “Women Pioneers”, with the participation of María Emilia Casas Baamonde, jurist, professor of Labor and Social Security Law and first woman president of the Constitutional Court; Theresa Zabell Lucas, founder and executive president of the Ecomar Foundation, sailor with two gold medals in the Olympic Games; and Isabel Estapé Tous, notary public of Madrid, patron of the La Caixa Banking Foundation and first woman academic of the Royal Academy of Economic and Financial Sciences; Isabel Estapé Tous, notary of Madrid, patron of the La Caixa Banking Foundation and first woman academic of the Royal Academy of Economic and Financial Sciences; and Carmen de Andrés Conde, president of the Creativity and Technology Business Group, board member of several companies and the first woman with a degree in Civil Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Madrid.  

During the conference, topics such as the situation and perception of women in the world of work, both in the past and today, were addressed; and the progress made in gender equality was highlighted, as well as the challenges and threats that still persist, especially in sectors such as sports, finance and STEM careers.
