Why is Gender Pay Gap Reporting Important?
I have always believed that a person should be measured on their abilities to carry out a job
function, and therefore there should not be any discrimination in the remuneration or any other benefits. Diversity and Inclusion were rated highly in the last GPTW survey; and looking at the production environment specifically, there is a high focus, independent of gender, on development of people to allow for multifunctional skilling of the teams. The production environment is a regulated environment with all persons receiving the same benefits for the job categories they are operating in, and as such is a great example of gender neutrality in the workplace.
I believe the data indicates that WaterWipes has been progressive in the area of the GDP. WaterWipes has clear policies on these matters but further than that I believe that the associated values and behaviours are natural to all of our employees and no group is unfairly treated because of their identity. As a manager within WaterWipes I feel we have a genuine focus on fairness and our assessment of this issue shows that we are certainly maintaining a good track. Thanks to those involved on these efforts.

The Gender Pay Gap report is important for the business to create visibility and remain transparent on Pay, BIK and Bonus. It is extremely beneficial for
i v
employees to have access to these figures along with the plans that the business has in place for the year ahead in order to address any gender gaps and to maintain diversity and inclusion on all levels. It gives WaterWipes the opportunity to focus on the improvements needed and to call out the importance of comprehensive Talent, People and Engagement strategies. I’m happy to see the gender pay gap 2022 figures being so low and look forward to the 2023 commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.
It is important to me that WaterWipes is open and honest with regards to gender pay reporting. I want
the business I work for to be transparent and answer questions that may arise if these gaps appear and show its employees that they are taking steps to reduce any gender pay gaps. By having an equal pay structure, it shows female employees that we are valuable to the business, we can recruit and retain the best employees regardless of gender, foster a diverse and inclusive workforce, and retain a positive reputation in the industry.
