RBU Santiago vehicles and employees

At RBU Santiago, we promote an organizational culture based on equity, respect, and inclusion. Before implementing Chilean Standard NCh3262, we already had practices focused on pay equity, reaffirming our commitment to fairness and transparency in remuneration.

The adoption of the standard allowed us to structure and strengthen existing initiatives, such as inclusive recruitment processes, continuous training, zero-tolerance protocols against discrimination, comprehensive health programs, quality of life, work ethics, inclusive communication, and a collective agreement that guarantees fair working conditions.

These actions have contributed to building a safe, equitable, and diverse work environment, where more than 21.5% of the people who are part of our organization are women. We continue to move steadily toward a culture that promotes equal opportunities and work-life balance.
