IRONCLAD COMMITMENT

Fundación Hay Mujeres recognizes our commitment to inclusion and women's leadership

19 Nov, 2022

The Hay Mujeres Foundation highlighted the new ambassadors who have made a commitment to carry out actions that promote the participation of women in decision-making and public debate. They are a group of 15 men, among whom the general manager of Compañía Minera del Pacífico (CMP), Francisco Carvajal, was selected, thanks to the work that the company has promoted to incorporate women into the organization.

"At CMP we have a strong commitment to inclusion and diversity, which is why we have actively promoted the incorporation of women in executive positions, so that it permeates the rest of the organization," said Francisco Carvajal. Today the mining company has 40% of women in this type of positions, a figure that contrasts with 0% in 2019. Likewise, it has managed to reach 13.8% of female staff within the company, almost double that of the 2012-2018 period (7.4%).

"We are very happy to be named ambassador. Acknowledgments like the one from Hay Mujeres encourage us to continue working so that more women work with us," said Carvajal.

The new ambassadors join the 113 appointed in previous versions, including the current Minister of the General Secretariat of the Presidency, Giorgio Jackson; the former president of Sofofa, Bernardo Larraín; the champion of COP25, Gonzalo Muñoz; the former Minister of Mining, Baldo Prokurica; the president of Generadoras Chile, Claudio Seebach; the journalist and TV host, Jaime Coloma; among others.
