DISCRIMINATION PREVENTION

PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS

  • We value each employee and strive to ensure equal hiring and internal career opportunities, regardless of employee’s age, gender, race, ethnic origin, beliefs, sexual orientation or other aspects that are not directly related to work. The Group respects and protects its employees’ rights, stands against any human rights violations and encourages equal opportunities in the environment where it has impact.
  • Employee working conditions, remuneration, benefits and other organisational aspects are determined with equal opportunities in mind while striving to help employees balance work, personal life and carry out their family obligations.
  • The Group’s Code of Ethics and Equal Opportunities and Diversity Policy establish the principles of equal opportunities and diversity that are fostered throughout the Group as well as their key implementation measures. One of them is the Trust Line, a communication channel of the Group where employees and other stakeholders can report in confidence on any potential violations of sustainability principles, including human rights and equal opportunities violations.

JOB ADS

  • All our job advertisements indicate that we ensure equal opportunities and do not discriminate candidates.

COMMITMENT NOT TO DISCRIMINATE

  •  We have a rule that any hiring manager must sign a commitment before launching a job ad about ensuring equal opportunities during the selection. This means that they will not ask discriminatory questions, but rather apply equal selection criteria and adhere to the equal opportunity principles. If they do not commit to this, the job ad remains unpublished. We encourage our managers to treat the obligation not to discriminate as their personal responsibility.
  • The talent acquisition team and personnel business partners have also committed to ensuring equal opportunities.
  • We prepared and distributed a memo on how to avoid discrimination in employee selections while encouraging diversity.

TRAINING

  • The Group has mandatory training for all employees aimed at preventing various forms of violence, harassment, and sexual harassment. After training, employees must take and pass a knowledge verification test. 
  • Trainings, lectures, and discussions on topics such as gender equality, equal opportunities, inclusion of LGBT persons, antidiscrimination, good diversity and inclusion practices in other organizations, etc. are also organized for employees. 
  • The Group periodically train all managers to ensure equal opportunities in recruitment. Managers are taught how to ensure equal opportunities when creating a job offer, interviewing and evaluating candidates. 
  • Managers are educated about diversity and inclusion in three leadership programs where these topics are integrated into the content of the programs.
