At Hanover we are fully committed to advancing gender equality in all aspects of our operations. We recognise the significant challenges posed by women’s labour market inequality, the impact of violence against women (VAW), and how these contribute to broader gender inequalities in society.
We also acknowledge the diverse experiences faced by women, particularly racially minoritised women, disabled women, and those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or trans. These unique challenges require our active efforts to create an inclusive and equitable workplace for all.
Our participation in the Equally Safe at Work programme underscores our belief that gender equality is not only a fundamental human right but also key to achieving our strategic goals. By fostering a gender-equal workplace, we gain access to a wider range of talents and perspectives, driving innovation, creativity, and enhanced organisational performance.
As we continue our journey, we are committed to building sustainability into our practices by embedding gender equality into our core operations. We will work to ensure that gender equality is progressed throughout all levels of the organisation, creating a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
This statement is endorsed by Angela Currie, Chief Executive, and Wendy Russell, Director of Business Support & Transformation, who together reaffirm our commitment to making Equally Safe at Work a cornerstone of our organisational culture.
