As a global company with a global customer base, we understand that diversity looks dierent in every part of the world, and we want our business to be reflective of all the markets in which we operate. We recognize that the chemicals industry has historically had a skewed gender ratio, and we are commied to playing a role in promoting greater diversity within the industry. One way we are working towards this goal is by seing a target for our leadership team to achieve 40% female representation by 2030. This year, female representation in our senior leadership team [1] was 23%. To demonstrate our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) at the leadership level, in 2022 we began actively communicating our diversity statistics and measures to our Executive Leadership Team (ELT). While DEI is sponsored at the executive level by our Chief People Ocer, Sandra Collier, our CEO Marc Doyle is actively involved in and passionate about driving forward awareness and progress of this important work. Equally, DEI is being championed at the operational level by a group of passionate employees who established a DEI steering commiee in 2022, aiming to foster a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture at Arxada. To aract top talent, we are developing a talent engine roadmap with specific workstreams focused on aligning job levels and performance measures globally, standardizing our approach to early careers, and creating a plan for employee learning and development that includes training for line managers. Our talent engine roadmap will link to our DEI ambitions, creating a more diverse talent pipeline. This will include targeted partnerships and job descriptions containing gender-neutral and inclusive language. By implementing these strategies, we strengthen our position as an aractive and supportive employer for top talent. While DEI representation and commitment at the leadership level is important, we are working on creating a more diverse talent pipeline for all career levels by ingraining DEI into our talent araction processes.
