The international energy company Moeve has joined the first Andalusian Pact for Conciliation and Co-responsibility promoted by the Ministry of Social Inclusion, Youth, Families, and Equality with the aim of promoting a «cultural change» in all sectors of society regarding the distribution of tasks and care responsibilities. Minister Loles López and the Human Resources Director of Moeve’s Energy Parks, Jesús García Arieta, have signed this agreement in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva) that seeks real and effective equality.
The Andalusian Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FAMP), the Confederation of Entrepreneurs of Andalusia (CEA), the Association of Self-Employed Workers (ATA) in Andalusia, the public universities of Andalusia, and Sevilla FC have already joined this pact. The Andalusian government is allocating 44 million euros to implement 55 actions across all ministries.
López emphasized that «Moeve, a company committed to Huelva, mobility, and sustainable energy, is the first large company to join this pact» and thanked their adherence, which she described as an «honour» and expressed confidence that they will be «an example for other Andalusian companies.» She also noted that this signature «gains more relevance considering that the industrial sector is a heavily male-dominated field.»
She also stressed that «without conciliation and co-responsibility, there is no real equality», therefore, she explained, «the goal of this pact is to seek a cultural change so that in the future, boys and girls internalize that care and tasks should be shared by both members of the couple. Conciliation is not just a women’s issue, it involves men and women, the whole of society.»
On the other hand, the Human Resources Director of Moeve’s Energy Parks stated that «at Moeve, we are committed to creating a work environment that promotes the balance between the personal and professional lives of our employees. Joining the Andalusian Pact for Conciliation and Co-responsibility of the Andalusian government is a significant step in our mission to promote gender equality and the well-being of our employees. We firmly believe that promoting conciliation policies improves the quality of life, productivity, and the overall well-being of our workers. We are proud to be part of this initiative and look forward to actively contributing to its success alongside the Ministry of Social Inclusion, Youth, Families, and Equality.»
The Mayor of Palos de la Frontera, Milagros Romero, praised that «Moeve is the first company to join the Andalusian Pact for Conciliation and Co-responsibility» and noted that they will continue to set an example in conciliation, as they have in other areas. She also recalled that for many years at Moeve, «women have had the opportunity to develop professionally» and also thanked their willingness to participate in projects and activities related to equality, youth, and other groups in need.
