Agreements and partnerships entered into previously by ENAIRE

As a state-owned company, ENAIRE has always been sensitive and committed to respect for individuals, valuing differences, as well as to an inclusive culture, which is why before the Policy was presented to the Governing Council, it had already signed several agreements and partnered with various organisations and entities.

For example, ENAIRE had already adopted the United Nations Global Compact, which encourages companies to engage in sustainable management based on human rights, and it had endorsed the Diversity Charter (list of principles on inclusion and diversity promoted by the European Commission and the Ministry of Equality) and the UN Global Compact initiative to implement principles to empower women in companies.

It has also signed an agreement with the Spanish Committee of Representatives of Persons with Disabilities (CERMI), the ONCE Foundation and the Spanish Business Federation of Associations of Special Employment Centres (FEACEM), it endorsed the initiative of the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training "STEAM Alliance for Female Talent: Girls on the Front Line of Science", and it signed an agreement with Inspiring Girls to promote STEAM careers in girls and young people and bridge the gender gap.

Policies in support of this action plan

ENAIRE's 2025 Flight Plan had previously specified various actions to focus on these values, such as in point 4 of its "Strategic Plan for Customers and Stakeholders. Committed Sky Initiative" (which presents the roll-out of the 2030 Agenda at every level of the organisation, cementing ENAIRE as a benchmark in sustainability); point 8, "One Team Strategic Personnel Plan" (promotes diversity management, talent, work-life balance, project orientation, team building and the professional and personal development of ENAIRE's employees); point 9, "Strategic Plan for the Campus" (reinforces the learning and development of ENAIRE's professionals, providing a benchmark in quality and excellence in training, and a new space for innovation and the exchange of knowledge); and in point 11, "Strategic Transformation Plan: ENAIRE 5.0" (promotes ENAIRE's transformation and modernisation process, paying equal attention to technology and the human factor, in a culture where people feel motivated and committed by promoting collaboration, communication and teamwork).

ENAIRE had also drawn heavily on various national regulations and laws, such as the Spanish Constitution, the Labour Code, Organic Law 3/2007 of 22 March on the Effective Equality of Women and Men, Royal Decree 902/2020 of 13 October on equal pay between women and men, Royal Legislative Decree 1/2013 of 29 November approving the Revised Text of the General Law on the rights of persons with disabilities and their social inclusion, and Law 4/2023 of 28 February for the real and effective equality of trans people and guaranteeing the rights of LGTBI people.
