Diversity, Equality, Inclusion
We are committed to uphold and respect human rights.
Diversity and inclusion is more than policies, programmes or headcounts. Acknowledging differences and respecting uniqueness in our associates builds trust and commitment.
We embrace diversity in the broadest term, including culture, ethnicity, nationality, gender, age, religion, education and physical ability.
We leverage our diversity policy to ensure female candidates are represented in senior management, increasing to 39.3% in 2021 from 37.6% in 2020. A third of the Independent Directors on the Board are women, and the Board Diversity is governed by a policy framework.
We employ and upskill locally, selecting the candidates based on qualifications, experience, and competences, while promoting awareness and addressing long-standing inequalities.
Our goal is not to force people to fit, but help them to thrive.
