The Adecco Foundation and the CEOE Foundation have signed a collaboration agreement to develop in Spain the #CEOPorLaDiversidad (#CEOsForDiversity) alliance.

This alliance's mission is to unite the CEOs of major Spanish companies around a common and innovative vision of diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I), acting as drivers and ambassadors to help accelerate the development of strategies that contribute to the business excellence, the competitiveness of talent in Spain, and the reduction of inequality and exclusion in Spanish society.

“We have been working for 20 years in diversity and socio-labor inclusion in the Adecco Foundation, and, although we have made progress, we are still in the phase of cultural change in companies; it is very slow. We need diversity strategies to be led and promoted from the first level of the company to accelerate its impact, improve the competitiveness of our business fabric and talent in Spain and reduce the figures of social exclusion and inequality,” says Francisco Mesonero, director General of the Adecco Foundation.

For his part, José Alberto González-Ruiz, CEOE CEO, said, “Diversity is not a minor issue in a global world. It is very present in companies, and from CEOE and its Foundation we are delighted to contribute through this alliance to carry this message to take advantage of talent for the benefit of competitiveness and business excellence in our country.”

González-Ruiz has also stressed that "it is the first initiative in Europe that involves CEOs of large companies around diversity and inclusion."
