FGV Sustainability Report 2021

FGV acknowledges that having a diverse workforce contributes to the organisation’s success. It brings in new ideas and experiences, leads to a better understanding of customer needs, and boosts employee morale and competitiveness to become more creative, effective, and productive at work. FGV also makes every effort to strike the right balance while refusing to tolerate any form of discrimination. These diversify-related criteria will be taken into account when considering employees’ promotion to senior management or hiring external talent for senior management positions. Additionally, FGV as an equal opportunity employer is committed to the principle of non-discrimination and to affording all our employees equal opportunities and treatment regardless of gender, age, nationality, religion or any other measure or form of differentiation. All employees, without regard to gender or any other measure, are remunerated equally at levels that commensurate with their seniority, role and experience. In accordance with our commitment to provide fair and decent work, FGV observes the minimum wage regulation of the countries where we operate. We believe that a fair and equitable approach is the bedrock for harmonious industry relations - one in which all FGV constituents collaborate seamlessly for the benefit of the business and our stakeholders. Gender equality At FGV, we embrace gender quality and recognise that both male and female members of the workforce in general are equally capable of delivering and contributing different perspectives at work, providing a balance to make solutions that are much more impactful. We are making gradual progress towards improving the proportion of females in our workforce. In 2021, 15% (2020: 15%) of our workforce were female. Women make up 17% (2020: 16%) of all management positions. We will continue to maintain focus on increasing the female contingent within our workforce.
