Moventia, focused on equal opportunities

Moventia works hard to ensure equality for its workforce. The multinational transport services company also constantly strives to remedy any act of discrimination that may take place within its various divisions.

In order to follow that path towards workplace equality and zero tolerance against discrimination, Moventia has adopted a pro-active system to meet the needs for improvement in this area. Occupational welfare is a top priority for the company. Moventia considers it essential to maintain a satisfied and motivated team as a way to enhance the skills and aptitudes of all its employees. It also seeks to create a pleasant working environment in which its people feel safe and comfortable.

Furthermore, the company is committed to offering diversity and inclusion that is capable of eradicating discrimination. This commitment is enshrined in its personnel recruitment and internal promotion procedures. Moventia also undertakes to use inclusive language to support gender equality.

In order to maintain its position as a leader in equality and as an example to be followed by other operators in the public and private transport sector, the company has adapted processes that can be adjusted over time to remedy potential changes in the application of equality between male and female workers.

Given this commitment to and positive action on equality issues, 15 of the companies in the mobility group are currently certified regarding compliance with the requirements to receive the SGI 20.10 seal of quality under the Equal Opportunities Management System. This was confirmed by an official audit conducted by SGI Standards, a company from the SGP Group with expertise in the field of equal opportunities.

Despite obtaining these excellent results, Moventia will continue to work tirelessly on maintaining its social commitment to equality between men and women and against discrimination.

 

Moreover, the group also has an extensive track record in terms of social responsibility. Based on efforts forming part of the business in which the company is engaged, the multinational is committed to the most achievable targets proposed under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The United Nations Organisation has defined actions aimed at globally promoting an improved outlook for all towards a better world based on measures that seek to remedy existing poverty and improve protection for our planet, among other things.

The T-mobilitat is already in operation on the urban buses of Sant Sadurní, Sitges and Vilanova i la Geltrú

The T-mobilitat, the new system for traveling to the public transport network in the Barcelona area, already integrates the urban bus service lines in the Garraf and Alt Penedès regions. This is a new step in the incorporation of buses from the entire Integrated Fare System in the Barcelona area, which will continue in the coming weeks.

This week’s integration incorporates new urban bus lines from outside the metropolitan area operated by TCC, from the Moventis group, specifically in the municipalities of Sant Sadurní, Sitges and Vilanova i la Geltrú.

The expansion of the T-mobilitat outside the Barcelona metropolitan area has been progressive since last summer. Currently, the new system makes it possible to travel throughout the Barcelona ATM railway network, the entire bus network of the Barcelona metropolitan area and increasingly on more intercity and urban bus services of the crowns 2, 3, 4 , 5 and 6. You can check the territorial expansion of the system on the T-mobilitat website.

Intelligent mobility at the Polígons d’Activitat Econòmica

 

On last Friday, October 28, Moventia participated as a speaker at Hub b30’s Innovation Brunch. It was in the framework of the conference of the Mobilitat intel·ligent als Polígons de l’Activitat Econòmica (PAE), organized by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the Unió de Polígons Industrials de Catalunya (UPIC).

Elena Aguarta, Director of Innovation Services for Mobility and Regulatory Affairs of Moventia, representing the company expert in sustainable mobility, spoke about the new models of intelligent mobility that are adapted today to industrial polygons. The talk, which had as its objective the search for a mobility model adapted to the technological revolution, its organizational changes and the climate emergency within the polygons, also had the participation of Rosa Maria Sebastian Perez, Vice-Rector of Innovation, Transfer and Entrepreneurship of the UAB; Silvia Solanellas, Moderator of the session and director of the Unió de Polígons Industrials de Catalunya (UPIC); Alejandro Valdovinos, Business Unit Director of Circontrol; Gerard Martret, CEO of Shotl and Vicente Atienza, Innovation Project Manager at the Barcelona Cambra de Comerç.

During the presentation, and with the intention of achieving a new business organization, with a strong commitment to digitization, the Moventia spokeswoman gave as an example some of the services that the company carries out in the Can Sant Joan Polygon, in Sant Cugat del Vallès. He highlighted the city bus and the shuttle bus, which transports passengers from the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya station to the industrial area. And a shared coach on demand.

The Innovation Brunch came to the conclusion of the multiple benefits of having a mobility plan for the Polygon itself coordinated with that of the companies. The importance of it being appropriate and adapted to the existing needs of the companies and their workers was emphasized, both in the field of labor conciliation, as well as that of security in itinere and that of optimization and increase in production in labor activity.

Reference was also made to the economic savings and the reduction in atmospheric and acoustic pollution that results from the reduction in traffic intensity thanks to the public transport service and the optimization of energy consumption in the companies of the polygons.

Josep Maria Martí takes part in Sant Cugat 2030: City of the future

On Friday, 27 May, Josep Maria Martí (Deputy Chairman of Moventia and CEO of Moventis) took part in an event entitled “Sant Cugat 2030: City of the future”. The event sought to offer a response to the various demographic growth, sustainability and economic challenges faced by the city over the coming eight years.

Held in the Sala Clavé hall at “La Unió Santcugatenca”, three talks were given by experts to open a debate aimed at understanding the future of this city. The ultimate goal for the event was to enter a dialogue with experts and politicians on the status of the city and the challenges it faces in the near future.

The day focused on the three round table discussions. The first was based on “A city for living in”, from which the main conclusion was that “diversity is what attracts people to cities”.

The second dialogue session of the day began after a breakfast that provided networking opportunities. “Sustainable City” offered a common outlook on everything that needs to be considered for building a more sustainable city ecosystem, calling on organisations to adopt a more active role. Josep Maria Martí took part in this session.

Various issues were addressed during the debate, such as adapting the city to all the challenges and objectives stemming from the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, equality, responsible consumption and production, and climate action.

The contribution from Josep Maria Martí highlighted the importance of harnessing EU funds in order to make progress towards a greener economy and society, called for incentives to encourage society and companies to commit to electric vehicles because 15 million journeys are made within the metropolitan area alone (300,000 of those in Sant Cugat) and defended nuclear power as a source of energy, as well as the importance of building wind farms.

The final conclusion from the second round table discussion was that Sant Cugat will only be viable if progress can be made towards a sustainable ecosystem, one that is conducive to a change of mentality that encompasses and involves education, society, companies and public authorities.

The third and final debate, which concluded the event, discussed another of the key issues for current affairs in the city: being an economic magnet. This dialogue was centred around how the city should adapt itself in order to remain attractive to large companies, as well as the challenges faced by the city in terms of business by small- and medium-sized enterprises.
