DIVERSITY AND GENDER BALANCE
The Group is committed to provide
a working environment free of
discrimination and unfair bias, where
every employee has an equal opportunity
in the workplace.
In FYE2017, the Group’s workforce stood
at 2,984 strong and is made up of 41%
women and 59% men. It is worth noting,
however, that due to the nature of certain
job functions such as manual work in
our plantation operations, the female
take-up rate for these jobs tend to be
significantly lower whereas in PNG, IFC’s
tuna loiners are predominantly female
given that loining required delicate
handling in order to prevent bruising the
meat thereby affecting the quality.
