Spanish term

presididas por la no discriminación

Spanish to English Law/Patents Human Resources Bank Staff Regulations (Spain)
Text from banking staff regulations from Spain going into UK English.

I'm currently using "guided/driven by", but would be interested in hearing how others might put it.

Context:

"Artículo 46. Garantía de igualdad de oportunidades y no discrimi-nación entre las personas.

1. Las relaciones laborales en las empresas deben estar presididas por la no discriminación por razón de nacimiento, raza, sexo, religión, adhesión sindical o cualquier otra condición o circunstancia personal o social."

Thanks in advance.

An environment of equality must prevail I suggest this as it's varied options you're after, using words from the other suggestions, although I realize that it may stray too far from the source term. Then again, there are Non-Discrimination Acts as well as Equality Acts.

Cheers, Maureen. I like the inclusion of "principle". Please feel free to add it as an answer... :)

governed by the principle of Hi James - guided or driven by seems good to me. My other suggestion is "governed by the principle of". It seems to need the extra word "principle".

governed by a principle of non-discrimination

Guided/driven by seem good to me. My other suggestion is "governed by the principle of". It seems to need the extra word "principle".
Note from asker:
"Governed by the principle of non-discrimination" works absolutely perfect with my wording (and has great hits), thanks again Maureen :)
I meant to say too; it mentions "principle" later in the text loads, so perfectly justified to include it here...

An environment of non-discrimination must prevail...

Maybe something along these lines might work:

"An environment of non-discrimination must prevail within companies in respect to nationality, race....."

or "Companies must ensure an enviroment of non-discrimination......"

Or just leave out 'environment'.

"Non-discrimination must prevail in companies with respect to....."

"The principle of non-discrimination must prevail...."
