Equality is a fundamental value that has been added, at different levels, to our national and international legal framework. Despite the progress made and the recognition of rights established by social norms, reality continues to present us with inequalities and discrimination in different areas of social life.
One manifestation of such discrimination is sexual harassment and harassment based on sex, which occurs in the workplace.
Consequently, on the basis of the legislation listed below, and CIMNE’s explicit commitment to prevent and eradicate situations of sexual harassment and harassment based on sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, within the organisation and the relationships that occur therein, we have created this Protocol for the prevention and response to sexual harassment and harassment based on sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity.
CIMNE’S COMMITMENT
CIMNE, in compliance with current legislation and in its commitment to prevent and eradicate situations of sexual and gender-based harassment, as well as to create a safe workplace, establishes this marker of and commitment to labour relations based on freedom, respect and equality between people.
The protocol, as well as being a commitment in line with its zero-tolerance stance on harassment, adopts two lines of action:
| Prevention | Action |
| Measures to anticipate possible and future cases of harassment (actions to raise awareness among the entire workforce, providing tools to prevent, warn and detect harassment situations). | Internal mechanisms are provided for resolution in the event of harassment and contacts are made available for persons to facilitate resolution. |
