We are proud to be named as one of The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality in the UK for the fifth year running. The Times Top 50 list recognises employers that are making gender equality part of their business strategy at all levels and celebrates the achievements of organisations that have been at the forefront of championing gender equality in the workplace. As the most highly profiled and well-established listing of its kind in the UK, Business in the Community (BITC) has been running The Times Top 50 list for 15 years as part of its Gender Equality work.
To make the list, companies are assessed and compared to their peers in terms of the policies and cultural interventions that they put in place to ensure gender equality, including addressing pay disparities, ensuring progression, offering flexible working and family friendly policies and tackling sexual harassment.
Monique Carter, Anglo American’s Chief People Officer, said: “I am delighted that Anglo American is once again included in The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality. This marks the fifth consecutive year that we have received this accolade – a testament to the considerable progress we continue to make around embedding inclusion and diversity-related practices, policies and initiatives into our organisation.
“As a business, we recognise that fostering a gender inclusive environment is intrinsically linked to helping to build the overall well-being of our people and to provide psychologically and physically safe work environments for everyone, while positioning ourselves for long-term sustainability and growth.”
Kieran Harding, Acting Chief Executive of Business in the Community, said: “The businesses that have made it into this year’s Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality demonstrates those that are holding fast to their values around equality.
“It is imperative for employers to eradicate gender inequality in the workplace, not only because it is the right thing to do, but it will also unlock economic benefits for businesses and ‘lift up’ the UK. While there is still much work to be done, the progress being made to ensure equal pay, career progression and offering enhanced flexible working and family friendly policies shows that we’re on the right path.”
Anglo American aims to make sure that every employee is valued and has the opportunity to fulfil their potential, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, education or national origin. We continue to build a workplace culture that is fair and supportive of all types of diversity and we work closely with our partners to lead on and contribute towards solutions and innovations that tackle inclusion issues within our broader industry.
