employment for the disabled with a prize of
€200,000 and aid for the rest of the projects of
up to €50,000 each. All of the BBVA Group’s
companies in Spain complied with what is laid
down in the Spanish Act for the Social Integration
of the Disabled (LISMI).
On another hand, during 2008, the joint
committee on equality and reconciliation held a
series of meetings to monitor compliance with,
and development of, the measures envisaged in
the collective labour agreement signed with trade
union representatives, as well to study the
evolution of the workforce in terms of gender.
Similarly, throughout the year, BBVA Spain
continued to participate in the Concilia network,
within the framework of the Equal Madrid,
Empresas y Conciliación project, led by Madrid City
Council, whose main objective is to motivate and
encourage the other companies to introduce equality
and reconciliation policies in their organisations.
As a result of BBVA’s commitment to make
reconciliation and equality of opportunities
available to all of its employees, the organisation
was awarded the Family-Responsible Company
certificate (EFR) in Spain.
BBVA was awarded this certificate by the
Fundación + Familia in recognition of the
commitment and efforts made with pioneer
measures in the field of reconciling work and
personal life. The Group is currently working with
this foundation to extend this certification to Latin
America, a process which is well underway in
Colombia, Mexico and Chile.
