Portafolio Inmobiliario announced its goal of increasing the participation of women in leadership positions by 40% over the next four years, as part of a business strategy that integrates gender equality as a cross-cutting management issue and a key performance indicator.

In a sector where female representation in technical and decision-making positions remains limited, the company has implemented structural actions that include training in human rights and gender perspective, review of recruitment and promotion processes, internal mentoring programs, strategic alliances, and strengthening of its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee.

“We firmly believe in female leadership and the value it brings to sustainability, innovation, and competitiveness in the real estate sector. This goal responds to a vision of more representative and inclusive urban development,” said Ana Laura Rojas, Director of Corporate Affairs at Portafolio Inmobiliario.
