Diversity and equality
Being an ethical company includes taking a clear stand against discrimination wherever we operate. As we operate in 49 countries, cultural diversity is part of our daily work.
We see workforce diversity – in terms of age, gender and ethnicity – as an asset to the company at all levels. We seek to ensure equality of opportunity throughout the company. For example, 50 percent of our Board members are men and 50 percent women. Not all the countries in which we operate have clear and comprehensive labour legislation.
50% of our Board members are men and 50% women.
It is therefore important for us to have global guidelines on diversity and equality, based on the International Labour Organization convention (C111 Discrimination).
