Explicit or implicit biases are present in every work environment, they can vary widely across geographies and cultures, and they often result from a complex combination of traditional power structures, categorisations of economic or ethnic class, and attitudes toward gender. Prohibiting any form of discrimination is the necessary framework for work opportunities and career advancement.
Our Initiatives Include
- Our Fair Employment Policy that covers our operations for all forms of diversity
- Establishing a Diversity and Inclusion Council
- Dedicated training sessions and support for female farmers, with gender reporting by product supply chain
- Our Supplier Code, which clearly stipulates that third-party suppliers “encourage gender equality, equal access and empowerment of women”.
We Scale Impact Through Sector Initiatives
- Signatory to UN Women’s Empowerment Principles
- WEConnect International – a global network that connects women-owned businesses to qualified buyers around the world
We report on the goals and targets in the Human and Social Capital sections of our 2020 Annual Report.
