Diversity & Gender Balance
T
he Group is committed to providing a work environment free of
discrimination and unfair bias, where every employee has an equal
opportunity in the workplace.
In FYE2019 the Group’s workforce totalled 3,178 and is made up of 1,205
women (38%) and 1,973 men (62%).
During the year, 163 or 18% of new hires within the Group were women with
Food Division
recruiting 75.
We will continue to seek opportunities for the Group to increase the
percentage of positions held by women, particularly in leadership
positions. Due to the nature of specific job functions such as manual work
in our plantation and bulking 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 requires delicate handling in order
to prevent bruising of the meat which can affect its quality.
