Emilio Gómez Rojo, Personnel Administration manager of OHL, received the Award to Hiring, granted by that institution, on behalf of the company. In his acceptance speech, he recalled that one of the company’s lines of action in the HR area, established in its CSR Plan, is the creation of quality employment in a framework of equal opportunities, by promoting programs for the integration of groups at risk.  In this context, “our collaboration with Fundación Integra has been essential for enabling OHL to maintain its commitment to those people who encounter greater difficulties for accessing the labor market”, he stated.

Over the years, the Group has supported a number of initiatives promoted by the Foundation and has set in motion a specific plan for the labor market integration of groups with disabilities or at risk of exclusion.
