By: Mariana Diez Barroso Valencia
At the heart of B + F, our firm in charge of creating environmental, economic and social value while bringing comprehensive environmental solutions to our clients and allies, is a solid commitment to gender equality and the empowerment of women.
With more than 80 collaborators covering disciplines such as law, biology, environmental engineering, among others, at B + F we recognize and celebrate the diverse talent that women contribute to science and technology.
As a testament to our commitment, we are proud to be signatories to the WEPs, the Women’s Empowerment Principles, which advocate for gender equality in the workplace and promote an inclusive environment where women can reach their full potential.
In this context, we join the commemoration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, an initiative supported by the United Nations General Assembly, which designated February 11 to pay tribute to the fundamental role played by women in the scientific and technological community.
This day is not only an occasion to celebrate the achievements of women in science, but also to inspire girls and young women to explore and pursue their scientific dreams. At B + F, we recognize the importance of providing role models and opportunities to future generations, creating a path to a future where gender equity in science is the norm.
Our collaborators: lawyers, anthropologists, biologists, accountants, economists, geographers, environmental engineers, play a crucial role in achieving our environmental objectives. We value and actively support the professional growth of all women on our team, fostering an environment where their contributions are recognized and appreciated.
At B+F we not only celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, but we work every day to create a space where all minds, regardless of gender, flourish and contribute to the advancement of science and protection. environmental. Together, we are building a brighter, more equitable future for all.
