Our commitment. We are committed to promoting gender equality, inclusiveness, and non-discrimination across all our activities. We aim to maintain a professional, respectful, and inclusive working environment, and we apply a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination and harassment in our professional interactions.
Our approach. We apply a proportionate and scalable approach to gender equality that fits the size and nature of our organisation. We integrate these principles into our research and innovation activities, our work with partners and stakeholders, and our future organisational development.
Our key objectives.
Equal opportunities. We aim to use fair, transparent, and gender-neutral practices in recruitment where applicable, and in the way we work with collaborators.
Inclusive participation. We encourage balanced and inclusive participation in project teams, consortia, and stakeholder engagement.
Gender in research where relevant. We consider gender aspects in research, analysis, and communication where this is meaningful and supported by evidence.
A respectful working environment. We aim to ensure safe, professional, and constructive interaction in all our activities.
Continuous improvement. We review our practices periodically and improve them where needed.
How we put this into practice.
Recruitment where applicable. We aim to use transparent and gender-neutral criteria and to base decisions on relevant skills and experience.
Working practices. We support flexible and reasonable working arrangements and respectful, inclusive communication.
Collaboration. We encourage inclusive and balanced participation in projects and align with appropriate equality standards in the professional environments in which we work.
Research and innovation. We assess whether gender aspects are relevant and integrate them where appropriate.
Prevention of discrimination. We apply a zero-tolerance approach and address concerns through appropriate procedures in collaborative settings.
Monitoring and review. We review this plan periodically, including reflection on our collaborations, recruitment where applicable, and the integration of gender-related considerations in our work.
Responsibility. Responsibility for implementation lies with PRO VIDES CONSULTING, and these principles are integrated into our day-to-day activities and future development.
Publication. This Gender Equality Plan is publicly available and maintained as part of our ongoing organisational practice.
