Society

At Applus+, we are aware of the importance of ensuring a positive work-life balance and we want our employees and managers to make full use of their holidays and breaks. We have launched the Annual Leave Policy to define a standardised process.

We comply with the right to disconnect from work. In addition, when a job allows it and the same level of productivity is maintained, we give our employees the option of working from home, always on a voluntary basis and with the right to reverse their decision.

We respect the right to collective bargaining and work alongside our workers’ representatives, freely elected in accordance with the labour legislation in force in each country, to promote freedom of association. We foster a culture of dialogue and negotiation with our employees’ representatives and social partners through our communication channels.

Health and safety

The Applus+ Group’s strategy consists of going beyond the legal requirements, and we pursue the objective of zero injuries. The protection of our employees is a priority defined at the highest level.

We have established a framework to operate and provide our services in a safe environment through our policy of Corporate Quality, Health and Safety and the Environment. The policy bolsters our integrated management system, which has a preventive approach and complies, among other standards, with ISO 45001. We promote a culture based on prevention to ensure the health and safety of our employees and all the people working with us.

Safety Day

At Applus+ we celebrate an annual event in which the entire global workforce participates and to which we also invite our clients and contractors.

This annual event always has a running motto related to H&S and employees interact in different activities that promote reflection and discussion about health and safety at work. Both management and technicians participate and engage in presentations, debates, workshops and games on the key themes for better health and safety.

Our professionals can also interact with Aplus+ colleagues from other countries through a social wall at the Group’s intranet to share their experiences.

All materials, including special drawings for each edition featuring our diverse workforce, are translated into 13 languages.

We hold this event in 100% of the countries where Applus+ operates, over 70 countries worldwide and in all five continents.

Social action

Applus+ is firmly committed with local communities in the countries and regions where we provide services. We give special attention to the most vulnerable groups and launch different projects to provide them with the best support. Our commitment to diversity, equality and inclusion is also manifested through these projects.
