Gender Balance

Empowering both men and women to achieve business opportunities and results through balanced gender representation.

To enable our customers, colleagues and communities to thrive, it is important to reflect the diversity of our customer base.

Another positive outcome will be to create awareness of different gender perspectives and the value inherent in these."
