Equality and Diversity
THYSSEN WITH YOU
The Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum maintains its commitment to equality and diversity in its Code of Values and Conduct, integrated into the Concilia Plan.
During 2021, we began preparing the II Equality Plan to adapt it to the new regulations and comply with RD 901 and 902/2020, which regulates equality plans and their implementation. Additionally, the Museum has the following Equality measures in place: • Protocol for the prevention, treatment and elimination of workplace harassment and sexual harassment. • Equal pay. • Equal opportunities in training. • Non-discriminatory hiring.
Participation in conferences on diversity, in which the following stand out: • Online course: Equality. • Webinar: “The Diversity of Being a Woman” by
Fundación Alares. • Webinar: “1st Conference on Women and
Compliance” by AMMDE. • Informative webinar: “European Diversity Month” by
Fundación Diversidad. • “Salary Audit and Wage Record” by the Fundación
Más Familia. • Webinar: “Equality Plans and Salary Audit” by the
Más Familia Foundation. • Forum: “Equality Plans and Salary Audit”.
Pride Day: We created an audiovisual piece for social media, an LGBTIQ banner for the museum’s façade with the claim “The Thyssen Is For You”, as well as a banner for our website and a press conference at the Museum featuring an intervention by our Artistic Director Guillermo Solana.
In our work towards inclusion and diversity, the Universal Accessibility certificate was renewed for the fifth consecutive year, in accordance with the UNE Standard 170001 and 2 (1st public Museum to obtain this certification) and with the diverse artistic offer of the Museum.
The organisation maintains a permanent ambition to improve accessibility.

In line with this, the Museum employs one person with functional diversity, representing 0.7% of its staff, and resorts to alternative measures for an amount of 386 thousand euros, with the contracting of responsible purchases in collaboration with the Alares Social and Ilunión organisations.
Finally, the Museum maintains its collaboration agreement with the AMÁS Foundation for the development of inclusive nonlabour practices for people with intellectual and/or developmental diversity, as well as the promotion of International Tolerance Day alongside the Diversity Foundation. And in 2021 it signed a new agreement with the Argadini Association, the purpose of which is to improve the personal, educational, social, cognitive and emotional development and quality of life of people with any form of disability, regardless of the collective or social group they are a part of, as well as contributing to their social and workplace integration.
