Gender Equality at Work

Our aim is to remove systemic barriers, allowing our workforce to thrive in all areas of the organisation, regardless of gender.

GRID25 Employee Resource Group

GRID25 is our gender diversity employee resource group that, in a male-dominated industry, aims to give all women, cis and gender diverse, access to a work environment and equipment that shows no limits to opportunities.

Our Initiatives

Gender Targets

To support an improvement in the gender mix, we introduced gender targets in 2021 and are continuing our tiered incentive employee referral program for recruitment in line with diversity targets.

• We aim to have women represent 25% of our leadership team by 2025, and we have leadership capability, early careers and mentoring programs to support achieving these goals.
• Our early career programs are also dedicated to building a talent pipeline of female talent, and we aim to triple the number of women in frontline roles by 2025.
