We aim to strengthen our commitment to Spanish society, thus contributing to the development of its people and the country by focusing on communities’ health and well-being.

To do so, we partner with local hospitals and foundations, such as the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, the Fight Against Infectious Diseases Foundation and the Blood and Tissue Bank to engage in impactful social actions.

The physical and mental health of the staff members is ensured through the health services offered by CARS (Center for Health Care and Rehabilitation) and the mental health plan in our facilities. In 2023, more than 159,000 health-related activities took place, in addition to reaching the lowest accident rate in the history of the company for the second consecutive year.

At SEAT S.A., we carry out different actions to foster the well-being and commitment of our employees to the company.

We prioritise the construction of long-term, sustainable employee relationships through initiatives and benefit programmes promoting social dialogue and personal growth.

We foster a smart working culture to improve work-life balance, a digital disconnection policy and social benefits for our employees. We also work on initiatives that promote staff participation and accompany them in the transformation towards electrification.

In 2023, we strengthened our capacity to lead and innovate in sustainability through the training plan framed in the Future: Fast Forward project. We offered more than 100,000 hours of training activities to our staff, providing the necessary skills to address current and future challenges. In the context of SEAT S.A.'s transformation, our goal is to reach 500,000 hours of training for all personnel. 

We embrace diversity as a fundamental strength, valuing the unique perspectives and experiences of individuals, and recognising that diversity drives innovation and collective success.

That is why we have implemented a wide range of initiatives and tools that promote an inclusive work environment, protect the rights and dignity of all people, and contribute to building a more equitable and prosperous company.

For example, our Equality Plan includes over 60 measures, such as the implementation of a new protocol for the protection of victims of gender-based violence and the extension of the Protocol Against Sexual Harassment and Harassment Based on Gender to the LGBTI+ community.

We undertake actions to promote diversity of perspectives (e.g., various mentoring programmes), raise awareness (trainings, communication campaigns, etc.), address unconscious bias (e.g., specific awareness workshops), and break down barriers while evoking empathy through personal experiences (e.g., encounters with different people sharing their personal stories), among many other initiatives.

We have also set targets to further increase the representation of women in management positions, as well as the percentage of managers with international experience, and the inclusion of diverse individuals. We measure our progress through our own inclusion index.

Sustainability is at the core of all the commercial relationships of the entire supply chain.

We use our S-Rating (Sustainability Rating) to evaluate the performance of our suppliers based on human rights, environment, decarbonisation, responsible procurement of raw materials and the fight against corruption, among others.

Our ambition is to collaborate with A-rated suppliers, the highest qualification. Besides, we are actively working with our suppliers to help them achieve this qualification, as part of our supplier excellence programme. We thus guarantee that our business partners comply with the required sustainability standards.

To complement our supplier’s sustainability programme, we prioritise suppliers with a social purpose and suppliers’ diversity, promoting the inclusion of underrepresented groups in our supply chain.
