Altadis signs up to diversity charter

Imperial Tobacco’s business in Spain has put its name to a charter that is in line with Imperial’s commitment to supporting diversity.

Altadis is amongst a number of leading Spanish companies to have signed up to the Charter de la Diversidad 2014.

The charter sets out a code of practice that guarantees a commitment to promote equality in the workplace and the wider community.

A ceremony recognizing Altadis as a signatory took place at the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality in Madrid.

“It’s very important for us to demonstrate our respect for a code of practice that promotes responsibility in terms of equality,” said Ángel Morales, who is HR operations manager in Spain and who attended the event.

“This helps to reaffirm our reputation as a good company to work for in Spain, and I was delighted to sign this charter on behalf of Altadis.”
