This commitment has been recognized by the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index, in which the company achieved a historic score of 88.29% compared to a global average score of 73%, and by Forbes, which ranked Grupo Argos as the most female-friendly company in the world after evaluating criteria such as competitive salaries, opportunities for professional advancement, and flexible work arrangements.
