MARIA LAURA CARNEIRO PEIXOTO GONCALVES SANTOS (F)
General Manager
“At ELC, we believe that equity, diversity and inclusion make us more creative and innovative because it allows us to make decisions based on different points of view and experiences. Therefore, we focus on promoting inclusion, welcoming the team and at the same time getting everyone to reach their maximum potential and always be energized in the company's strategy. Our global company is made up of 84% women and in Brazil we have the same proportion. I believe that empowering is giving choices and allowing women to decide their own future. That is why I am proud to say that, in order to open up more space for women in the labor market and promote gender equality, we recently launched an Education for Girls project where we have a unique opportunity to make a difference in the lives of 400 girls (14 to 17 years). We know that when girls have the opportunity to grow through education, they take advantage, develop and positively impact their families and communities. “
