H2Vector Energy Technologies, S.L. has an internal Gender Equality Plan approved by the company’s Management. Its purpose is to establish the company’s commitment to equal treatment and equal opportunities between women and men, integrating this principle into people management, work organisation, professional development and the company’s R&D activities.

H2Vector operates in the field of hydrogen technologies and clean energy solutions. The company understands that technological innovation must go hand in hand with a responsible, inclusive and respectful organisational culture, based on equality, non-discrimination, work-life balance and the prevention of any conduct contrary to the dignity of individuals.

The Gender Equality Plan applies to all people who are part of H2Vector, regardless of their type of contract, working hours, seniority, position or functional area. Its principles are also considered in professional relationships with collaborators, suppliers, clients and other external entities whenever such relationships may affect the working environment or the company’s corporate image.

H2Vector’s Management is responsible for approving, promoting, communicating and verifying compliance with the Plan, as well as for providing the internal resources required for its implementation and monitoring. The company appoints a person responsible for monitoring the Plan and may rely on specialised external support whenever necessary in matters related to equality, harassment prevention, labour regulations or data protection.

The Plan includes measures in the following areas:

• Equal treatment and equal opportunities in recruitment, hiring, professional promotion and access to leadership responsibilities.
• The use of objective, transparent and non-discriminatory criteria in people management.
• Training and awareness-raising on equality, harassment prevention, co-responsibility, work-life balance and unconscious bias.
• Equal pay between women and men for work of equal value.
• Work-life balance measures, compatible with work organisation and the company’s operational needs.
• Integration of the gender dimension into R&D activities where applicable, particularly in aspects related to the end use of technologies, safety, ergonomics, training, human-machine interaction, communication of results and social impact.
• Prevention of and response to situations of sexual harassment, gender-based harassment, moral harassment, discrimination, intimidation, retaliation or any conduct contrary to the dignity of individuals.

H2Vector will monitor the Plan periodically, at least once a year, considering available information on recruitment, hiring, promotion, training, remuneration, work-life balance, occupational health, harassment prevention and R&D activities. To the extent compatible with the company’s small workforce and with personal data protection requirements, this monitoring may be based on indicators disaggregated by sex/gender.

Where data disaggregation could lead to the direct or indirect identification of specific individuals, the information will be analysed internally and only aggregated conclusions will be recorded, always ensuring confidentiality and the protection of personal data.

The company also has an internal procedure for the prevention of and response to possible situations of harassment or discrimination. Any communication received will be handled with confidentiality, diligence, respect for the people involved, protection against retaliation and full guarantee of the rights of all parties.

This document constitutes the public version of the Gender Equality Plan of H2Vector Energy Technologies, S.L. Internal information relating to diagnosis, monitoring, the pay register and associated documentary evidence will be managed confidentially by the company, in accordance with applicable labour and data protection regulations.
