and Quiama Sitoe, who join our growing team of Internal Transfer Vehicle Operators. We look forward to giving them a platform so, together, we can inspire more women to become part of our thriving industry.” DP World firmly believe in equal opportunities, and that women should be an integral part of all teams, in any sector of activity, including logistics and ports, contributing to an environment of inclusion.
“WE HAVE MADE A LONG-TERM COMMITMENT TO INVESTING IN OUR FEMALE TALENT ACROSS THE GLOBE, WHILE ALSO LOOKING TO CONTINUOUSLY BECOME A MORE ATTRACTIVE EMPLOYER AND INDUSTRY OF CHOICE FOR WOMEN. IT WAS EXCITING TO SEE SO MANY INITIATIVES GROW AND DEVELOP IN 2021, MADE POSSIBLE BY OUR LEADERSHIP’S ONGOING AND DIRECT ENGAGEMENT WITH THE ISSUES, BUT WE ARE AWARE MUCH MORE REMAINS TO BE DONE. WE LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING FURTHER PROGRESS IN 2022, AND TO UPDATE ON OUR ADDITIONAL PROGRESS IN NEXT YEAR’S REPORT.”
