I Mentoring Program

The Mentoring Program, which launched in 2014, is a program
aimed at promoting female talent by providing advice, training and
guides from people with more experience, the designated mentors,
to each one of the participants (mentees). With this initiative,
Aqualia seeks to achieve a cultural shift in the company in favour
of gender equality, guiding and furthering the professional career
of its female employees. The program also recognises the talent
of mentors who share their experience and knowledge with the
mentees.

   With this initiative, Aqualia seeks to contribute to
   a cultural shift in the company in favour of gender
   equality, guiding and furthering the professional
   career of female employees with high potential.
