LiquiPort: Promoting Gender Equity in the Port Sector

In the port sector, which has historically been dominated by men, inclusion and gender equity are not just trends, but essential pillars for sustainable growth and innovation. At LiquiPort, we recognize the immense value of the female role in our work environment and are committed to becoming a benchmark in building a truly inclusive and equitable culture.

Globally, large port terminals have made significant progress on this issue. Inclusion programs, diversity targets and initiatives aimed at increasing female participation have stood out in leading companies in the sector. Renowned terminals, such as the Port of Rotterdam and the Port of Los Angeles, have implemented innovative policies to promote gender equity, attracting and retaining female talent in various roles. At LiquiPort, we see these examples as inspiration to transform our reality and be agents of change in the Brazilian port sector.

We are implementing concrete measures to ensure that women feel valued, safe and have real opportunities for growth in our operations. We prioritize training programs, with specialized and continuous training that promotes the development of female leaders and the inclusion of women in technical, operational and strategic areas. We have also adopted inclusive policies, reinforcing rigorous practices to guarantee equal pay and opportunities, as well as fair working conditions for all employees.

A culture of respect will be a priority in 2025. We are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment, free from discrimination, harassment or any behavior that compromises the well-being of our female employees. Any form of harassment will be repudiated and treated with the necessary seriousness, because we recognize that trust and respect are essential for the development of a healthy working environment.

Despite the fact that the port sector still bears traces of a predominantly male environment, we know that change is possible and necessary. We face the challenges with determination, certain that decisive action is indispensable to transform this scenario. Fighting prejudice and sexist behavior is a priority, and we will use all the resources at our disposal to ensure that every woman at LiquiPort feels fully safe, valued and respected.

The presence of women has a transformative impact on work environments, contributing to more balanced decisions, robust innovation and a more collaborative culture. At LiquiPort, we already have brilliant women working in areas such as engineering, controlling, human resources and operational control, playing key roles in our success.These women are living examples of how gender equity strengthens our organization and creates a more dynamic and efficient environment.

Promoting gender equity is not only a matter of social justice, but also a strategic necessity. Global studies prove that companies with greater gender diversity in their leadership are more profitable, innovative and resilient. Our vision is to align LiquiPort with this global trend, transforming our operations into an example of inclusion in the Brazilian port sector, showing that progress is possible when equality and respect are prioritized.

We believe that women are agents of transformation and we are determined to create a future where they can thrive in every dimension. We want every female employee to feel proud to be part of this journey and for the port sector to recognize that by making room for diversity, everyone wins. Together, we are building a new standard of excellence and fairness, because LiquiPort's strength lies in its people.
