Equality Policy
Abílio P. Caneiro & Filhos, S.A. sees the theme of equality and non-discrimination as essential conditions for building a sustainable future in all its angles. For this reason, we prioritize education/training at work, as well as the fight against all forms of discrimination or inequality, namely between women and men.
This approach makes it possible to enhance and value the future that we intend to build.
Equality requires, namely, that men and women enjoy the same opportunities, income, rights and obligations in all areas.
In the case of Abilio P.
