Itaipu Binational realizes its commitments to diversity through actions and projects that make its employees and external public aware of the importance of respect for human rights and inclusion. A good example is the Company's contracting, carried out by an external selection process, which universalizes access and reserves vacancies for candidates with disabilities (PcD) and for black people, without restricting the admission of women to any position. The Gender Equity and Disability Committees rely on the participation of employees of the Entity and propose actions, policies and guidelines, focusing on human rights, complying with relevant aspects for their respective publics. The Gender Committee, for example, seeks to understand the reality of women in their plurality and encourages a more equal participation of women and men in the management of the Company.
