One of the ways that MAPFRE builds trust among its stakeholders is by promoting the creation of a sustainable environment in which to conduct its activity. In 2014, the Group undertook new pledges by changing and updating its Corporate Environmental Policy, defining new environmental guidelines that had not been considered before, for example, climate change management and biodiversity preservation. The aforementioned pledges include the recent approval of the corporate Strategic Plan for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency which establishes different areas of action in the short, medium and long-term. These are aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent by 2020 (in relation to levels in 2013).
In relation to the environmental dimension, MAPFRE focused on transparently displaying its environmental performance under aspects considered material both at the internal and at the stakeholder level, and on reinforcing its global commitment in this dimension. The strategic environmental and energy management model (SIGMAYE) continued to expand internationally, with new ISO 14001 certificates awarded to companies in Brazil and Mexico, joining the companies in Colombia and Puerto Rico and the 23 HQ buildings with IS0 14001 certificates, and 6 with ISO 50001 certificates for energy management, based in Spain.

MAPFRE also contributed to environmental protection through its products and services, by managing environment risks in underwriting and technical assistance processes for its insurance policies, including environmental criteria in corporate procurements processes and by marketing products and services that promote environmental protection and efficient resource usage.
MAPFRE’s corporate commitment to the environment and sustainability is apparent in that it is a signatory to the “Climate Disclosure Project” (CDP) and the United Nations “Principles for Sustainable Insurance”, and through its membership of the Green Growth Group. This Group was set up recently by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment with the purpose of driving policies toward a low-carbon economy.
Further information on the Group’s environmental policy and activities are set out in its Corporate Social Responsibility Report.

MAPFRE promotes a work environment based on trust and mutual commitment, which allows for the professional and personal development of all its employees and which is stable and secure and free of offenses, exploitation of any nature, intimidation, assault and discrimination.
It also has a Code of Ethics and Conduct that must be observed by everyone in the company, irrespective of their activity or geographical location. This code can be viewed on the intranet and the corporate website and establishes a channel for queries and complaints for employees.
The Group has defined selection criteria that are integrated in a globally-applied policy that promotes equal opportunities and guarantees objectivity and non-discriminatory practices in every process. The tools and selection tests that are used throughout the world have been homogenized in order to incorporate to each position a candidate with most appropriate profile for it.
There is also a commitment to include employees with disabilities to the workforce, promoting their professional and personal development and their quality of life. The Global Disability Program was commenced in 2014, being implemented in 22 countries.

MAPFRE believes that employee training is essential, and it therefore ensures the training necessary for employees to perform their duties is available so as to increase their versatility and employability in different departments of the company. This is why it has career and professional development plans, a global mobility policy, and a global training model, via the Corporate University.
In 2014 the Group invested 15.9 million euros in training, equivalent to 1 percent of compensation paid. Investment in training has increased 21.6 percent over the past three years. In its Code of Conduct and Ethics, MAPFRE has committed to the provision of safe and healthy workplaces, thereby guaranteeing its workers’ right to protect their health and integrity, going beyond its own work environment and involving the family of the employee. In 2014, the healthy company model was defined, based on the guidelines set by international bodies such as the World Health Organization and the European Occupational Health and Safety Network. To promote employee professional and personal
development, MAPFRE has an active and structured policy which promotes a work-life balance for employees and increases employee satisfaction and commitment in relation to the company.
Corporate volunteer work is becoming one of the Corporate programs that is having the greatest impact on society, where the spirit of solidarity of MAPFRE stakeholders is channeled, with employees being the main participants, through social activities coordinated by the company, and where the initiatives proposed by the workers are of great relevance. MAPFRE has 2,462 volunteers around the world and has a Global Volunteer Work Program, which gives guidelines for carrying out local plans.
In 2014, with a view to evaluating the Group’s work climate, surveys were conducted in some of MAPFRE’s main countries, for example, the Great Place To Work (GPTW) which measures employee satisfaction and commitment. This took place in 27 countries and 22,324 employees took part in it.
