Grupo Cementos Portland Valderrivas

Corporate Social Responsibility

The Cementos Portland Valderrivas Group is aware that, in this globalized world, companies can’t shirk their responsibility. Good economic returns are not enough; we have to go farther and look at our performance in terms that take account of the influence our activities have on everything around us, especially people, society and the environment.

In upholding our operating principles and our commitment, we have made our Family Plan and Equality Plan integral parts of the Group Corporate Social Responsibility Policy. Our commitment to society has led us to join the United Nations’ GLOBAL COMPACT, which is a voluntary initiative in which companies undertake to align their strategies and operations with ten universally accepted principles in the following areas:  human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption.

Family Plan

In 2009 the Spanish companies in the Cementos Portland Valderrivas Group introduced the Family Plan for employees’ disabled relatives. The plan is a combination of initiatives to help disabled people join the working world, and thereby to foster compliance with the Spanish Act on the Social Integration of the Disabled.

Equality Plan 

The Group’s Equality Plan pursues equal treatment and equal opportunities for women and men and the elimination of any trace of discrimination by reason of sex, thus guaranteeing compliance with the Spanish Equality Act.
