It should be noted that countries such as Venezuela, France, Spain and Brazil have 95 to 100 percent of their workforce represented. https://www.mapfre.com/media/shareholders/2021/integrated-report-2021.pdf#page=1187.

MAPFRE maintains a permanent and direct dialogue with employees, reporting information on all relevant aspects, listening to their opinions and requesting their active participation through different channels, such as the workers' legal representation. On the other hand, the workers' legal representation communicates with employees through specific e-mail accounts or spaces on the intranet, visits to work centers and spaces for meetings or assemblies that the company facilitates for communication and dialogue with employees. The Integrated Report (pages 119-120) includes the main collective bargaining agreements reached with the legal representation of workers, in 2021, which are related to the topics indicated.

Among others, 74 training programs have been developed for workers on health and safety at work (general training in this area and specific training on occupational hazards, hazardous activities or dangerous situations) and there has been a total of 19,672 completed enrollments by 13,046 employees in these programs. In addition, seven programs on prevention and anti-harassment procedures have been developed and there have been 600 completed enrollments in these programs by 599 employees The year 2022 marks the beginning of a new three-year strategy focused on organizational change management, which addresses three major challenges: to continue working on the transformation and development of capabilities to ensure the maximum employability of MAPFRE employees; to provide the company with the organizational flexibility and agility it needs; and the commitment to and promotion of transformational leadership.Environment

Beginning in 2040 this commitment will also apply to the rest of the world, in all countries where MAPFRE operates. Addionally, in 2021, MAPFRE renewed its commitment to the fight against climate change, defined in the Corporate Environmental Footprint Plan 2021-2030.
