In a <\/span>world<\/span> where<\/span> it<\/span> is<\/span> estimated<\/span> that<\/span> only<\/span> 15% <\/span>of<\/span> engineering<\/span> students<\/span> are <\/span>women<\/span>, SAES\u2014a <\/span>company<\/span> specialising<\/span> in <\/span>underwater<\/span> technology<\/span> for<\/span> the<\/span> defence, <\/span>security<\/span>, and <\/span>environmental<\/span> sectors<\/span>\u2014<\/span>is<\/span> making<\/span> a <\/span>difference<\/span> by<\/span> promoting<\/span> gender<\/span> equality<\/span> in <\/span>the<\/span> field. <\/span>Since<\/span> 2021, SAES has <\/span>been<\/span> challenging<\/span> the<\/span> statistics<\/span> by<\/span> incorporating<\/span> women<\/span> into<\/span> 32% <\/span>of<\/span> its<\/span> new <\/span>hires<\/span>. <\/span>This<\/span> progress<\/span> highlights<\/span> a <\/span>firm<\/span> commitment<\/span> to<\/span> gender<\/span> diversity<\/span>, <\/span>which<\/span> is<\/span> essential<\/span> in <\/span>an<\/span> industry<\/span> traditionally<\/span> dominated<\/span> by<\/span> males.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Esther Corbal\u00e1n, <\/span>Director<\/span> of<\/span> People and Culture at <\/span><\/strong>SAES<\/strong>,<\/span> emphasises<\/span> the<\/span> importance<\/span> of<\/span> this<\/span> diversity<\/span>, <\/span>stating<\/span>: “Professional <\/span>versatility<\/span> is<\/span> a <\/span>superpower<\/span>. At SAES, <\/span>we<\/span> believe<\/span> that<\/span> including<\/span> women<\/span> not<\/span> only<\/span> enriches<\/span> our<\/span> teams and <\/span>organisational<\/span> culture <\/span>but<\/span> also<\/span> enhances<\/span> our<\/span> ability<\/span> to<\/span> respond<\/span> to<\/span> the<\/span> technological<\/span> and human <\/span>challenges<\/span> we<\/span> face<\/span> daily<\/span>.” <\/span>Corbal\u00e1n’s<\/span> words<\/span> highlight<\/span> SAES’s<\/span> mission<\/span> to<\/span> foster<\/span> an<\/span> inclusive <\/span>environment<\/span> that<\/span> values<\/span> diverse <\/span>perspectives<\/span> and <\/span>skills<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

SAES’s<\/span> commitment<\/span> to<\/span> equality<\/span> extends<\/span> beyond<\/span> its<\/span> internal<\/span> policies<\/span>. <\/span>The<\/span> company<\/span> actively<\/span> participates<\/span> in <\/span>events<\/span> promoting<\/span> women’s<\/span> roles in <\/span>engineering<\/span>, <\/span>such<\/span> as <\/span>the<\/span> Womin<\/span> Forum<\/span> held<\/span> at <\/span>the<\/span> Polytechnic<\/span> University<\/span> of<\/span> Cartagena. SAES has <\/span>also<\/span> implemented<\/span> mentoring<\/span> programmes<\/span> for<\/span> female<\/span> engineers<\/span> and <\/span>engaged<\/span> in <\/span>educational<\/span> collaborations<\/span> to<\/span> support<\/span> young<\/span> women<\/span> aspiring<\/span> to<\/span> STEM (<\/span>Science<\/span>, <\/span>Technology<\/span>, <\/span>Engineering<\/span>, and <\/span>Mathematics<\/span>) <\/span>careers<\/span>. <\/span>These<\/span> programmes<\/span> offer<\/span> guidance<\/span> and <\/span>connect<\/span> students<\/span> with<\/span> role <\/span>models<\/span> in <\/span>the<\/span> engineering<\/span> world<\/span>, <\/span>providing<\/span> them<\/span> with<\/span> a <\/span>clear<\/span> and <\/span>attainable<\/span> vision<\/span> for<\/span> their<\/span> professional<\/span> future.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Beyond their engineers, SAES employs women in key disciplines such as mathematics, physics, administration, finance, and marketing, all contributing significantly to the company’s success in engineering. This diversity of profiles enriches the workplace environment, enabling a multidisciplinary collaboration that drives innovation. <\/p>\n\n

Javier M\u00e1rmol, <\/span>President<\/span> of<\/span> <\/strong>SAES<\/strong>,<\/span> reaffirms<\/span> SAES’s<\/span> commitment<\/span>: “<\/span>We<\/span> are <\/span>dedicated<\/span> to<\/span> creating<\/span> an<\/span> equitable<\/span> environment<\/span> where<\/span> every<\/span> individual, <\/span>regardless<\/span> of<\/span> gender<\/span>, can <\/span>reach<\/span> their<\/span> full <\/span>potential<\/span>. <\/span>We<\/span> believe<\/span> that<\/span> gender<\/span> diversity<\/span> is<\/span> not<\/span> only<\/span> a fundamental <\/span>value<\/span> in <\/span>our<\/span> company<\/span> but<\/span> also<\/span> a <\/span>key<\/span> driver<\/span> of<\/span> innovation<\/span><\/strong>. <\/span>This<\/span> commitment<\/span> is<\/span> essential<\/span> for<\/span> our<\/span> success<\/span> and <\/span>continuous<\/span> growth<\/span>, and <\/span>we<\/span> ensure<\/span> that<\/span> every<\/span> voice<\/span> at SAES <\/span>is<\/span> heard<\/span> and <\/span>valued<\/span> as <\/span>we<\/span> move<\/span> towards<\/span> a more inclusive future.”<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Through<\/span> these<\/span> initiatives<\/span>, SAES <\/span>not<\/span> only<\/span> advocates<\/span> for<\/span> gender<\/span> equality<\/span> within<\/span> its<\/span> ranks<\/span> but<\/span> also<\/span> serves as <\/span>an<\/span> inspiration<\/span> for<\/span> the<\/span> next<\/span> generation<\/span> of<\/span> female<\/span> engineers<\/span>. <\/span>They<\/span> emphasise<\/span> the<\/span> importance<\/span> of<\/span> not<\/span> missing<\/span> out<\/span> on<\/span> 50% <\/span>of<\/span> the<\/span> talent<\/span>, <\/span>highlighting<\/span> that<\/span> social and <\/span>technological<\/span> development<\/span> hinges<\/span> on<\/span> the<\/span> full <\/span>inclusion<\/span> of<\/span> women<\/span>. At a time <\/span>when<\/span> figures <\/span>reveal<\/span> a <\/span>limited<\/span> female<\/span> representation<\/span> in <\/span>engineering<\/span>, SAES positions <\/strong><\/span>itself<\/span> as a leader in <\/span>promoting<\/span> an<\/span> inclusive <\/span>environment<\/span> in <\/span>science<\/span> and <\/span>technology<\/span><\/strong> .<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
