The company Repsol Colombia, affiliated with the ACP, has been accepted to be part of the WEPs Community (Women’s Empowerment Principles, by its acronym in English), an achievement that evidences the management and work of the company to contribute to the fulfillment of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 5: Gender Equality.

The WEPs Community is an initiative that UN Women and the Global Compact have jointly led since 2008, to promote the economic empowerment of women through seven principles:

  1. Establish corporate leadership of the highest level for gender equality.
  2. Treat all men and women fairly in the workplace. Respect and support human rights and non-discrimination.
  3. Ensure the health, safety, and well-being of all workers.
  4. Promote education, training, and professional development for women.
  5. Implement business development and supply chain and marketing practices that empower women.
  6. Promote equality through community initiatives and advocacy.
  7. Measure and publish reports on progress towards gender equality.

With these principles, the initiative guides companies in fulfilling their commitments to the global agenda and directs the way to find the benefits that equality generates.

For Repsol, being part of this community is a source of pride and at the same time a challenge, as it seeks to make a difference in favor of gender equality and the empowerment of women in the workplace, the market, and the community.
