Women´s International Day

For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment

We celebrate International Women’s Day in line with our commitment to SDG 5 on Gender Equality. We remember that progress in equality is not a privilege, but a universal right that still needs to be consolidated in many parts of the world. At Solarig, we are proud to say that we have an Equality Plan through which we ensure equal opportunities for all the people who make up our teams.

Who is your professional reference?

In this video, our professionals share the stories of the women who have marked and inspired them throughout their professional and personal careers.

Sara García Alonso, firstly because of her work as a biotechnologist researching cancer, which motivates me in my day-to-day work in the renewable energy sector for a better future. And on the other hand, I see myself reflected in her curious spirit and her desire to explore new limits that have led her to be chosen as the first Spanish reserve astronaut in the European Space Agency.

Valeria Arpuzzo, biomethane junior

A woman of reference for me is Marina Silva. She was born into a very humble family in Brazil, was a seringueira, learned to read and write at the age of 16, and has a trajectory of great courage and resilience, becoming Minister of the Environment in the country.

Clarisse Campos, Brazil Country Manager

I want to talk about Ana Lía Rojas, founder and first woman president within the Association of Energy Women in Chile. One of the 100 women leaders for the years 2021-2024 and, currently, Executive Director of the Chilean Association of Renewable Energy and Storage.

Nicole Rosales, Development LATAM Associate

My role model is Natsuko Toda, a Japanese film subtitle translator. She has been one of the pioneers in the competitive field of film subtitle translation, and her spirit of exploring what she loves and her passion have been a great inspiration. I also love her professional and humble attitude, always striving for perfection.

Ayumi Suzuki, EPC Japan Manager

Valentina Tereshkova, a woman of guts, broke new ground in the 1960s by being the first woman to orbit space. Subsequently, space engineer, politician, women’s rights activist, and even had a crater named after her.

Alejandra Bautista, O&M Service Manager

On this important day I wanted to mention Lidia Poët who was the first woman lawyer in Italy and who set a precedent for many of us to be able to practice our profession.

Alice Conti, Development Legal Junior

My inspiration is Carol Dweck because her research on growth mindset has changed the way we think about success and learning. She has shown that intelligence is not immutable and that with effort and perseverance we can continue to develop our capabilities. A lesson that keeps me learning new things every day.

Solarig joins the ASTI foundation

As part of our commitment to SDG 5 on Gender Equality, we have joined Fundación ASTI by sponsoring the STEM Talent Girl programme.

STEM Talent Girl is ASTI Foundation’s flagship programme, designed to awaken STEM vocations in girls and young women from the earliest stages of their education. ASTI provides, hand in hand with partner companies, female references and key tools that accompany young girls during their academic and professional development.

Given the shortage of STEM talent, at Solarig we are convinced that collaborations like this are key to promoting female talent, breaking gender stereotypes, providing role models and fostering a new generation of female leaders in STEM disciplines. Diversity, one of our core values, drives innovation and is crucial to meet the challenges of the energy transition.

Sara García Alonso, primero por su trabajo como biotecnóloga investigando contra el cáncer que a mí me motiva en mi día a día a trabajar también desde el sector de las energías renovables por un futuro mejor. Y por otra parte, me veo reflejada en su espíritu curioso y en sus ganas de explorar nuevos límites que le han llevado a ser elegida como la primera astronauta de reserva española en la Agencia Espacial Europea.

Valeria Arpuzzo, biomethane junior

Una mujer de referencia para mi es Marina Silva. Ella nació en una familia muy humilde en Brasil, fue seringueira, aprendió a leer y escribir a los 16 años, y tiene una trayectoria de mucho coraje y resiliencia llegando a ser Ministra del Medio Ambiente en el país. 

Clarisse Campos, Brazil Country Manager

Quiero hablar sobre Ana Lía Rojas, fundadora y primera mujer presidenta dentro de la Asociación de Mujeres de Energía en Chile. Una de las 100 mujeres líderes durante los años 2021-2024 y, actualmente, Directora Ejecutiva de la Asociación Chilena de Energías Renovables y Almacenamiento.

Nicole Rosales, Development LATAM Associate

Mi modelo a seguir es Natsuko Toda, traductora japonesa de subtítulos cinematográficos. Ha sido una de las pioneras en el competitivo campo de la traducción de subtítulos cinematográficos, y su espíritu de explorar lo que ama y su pasión han sido una gran inspiración. Además, me encanta su actitud profesional y humilde, siempre en busca de la perfección. 

Ayumi Suzuki, EPC Japan Manager

Valentina Tereshkova, un mujerón de agallas, rompiendo esquemas en los años 60 siendo la primera mujer en orbitar el espacio. Posteriormente, ingeniera espacial, política, activista por los derechos de la mujer, y hasta con un cráter con su nombre. 

Alejandra Bautista, O&M Service Manager

En este día tan importante quería mencionar a Lidia Poët que fue la primera mujer abogada en Italia

Alice Conti, Development Legal Junior

Mi inspiración es Carol Dweck porque su investigación sobre la mentalidad de crecimiento ha cambiado nuestra forma de pensar sobre el éxito y el aprendizaje. Ha demostrado que la inteligencia no es inmutable y que con esfuerzo y perseverancia podemos seguir desarrollando nuestras capacidades. Una lección que me mantiene aprender cosas nuevas cada día.
