Gender Pay Gap remains on our agenda and through careful analysis, we recognise it is influenced by various factors. Diversity and inclusion is firmly on our agenda, and we are committed to advancing gender pay equality throughout our organisation. To achieve this, we are actively collaborating with our wider company on several key initiatives. These include comprehensive job evaluations to ensure fairness and consistency, integrating gender equality into our sustainability goals, and maintaining a strong focus on addressing the Gender Pay Gap across Fyffes locations.
Finally, we note that we are committed to the principles of equal pay and there are no differences in pay rates for different genders occupying equivalent roles. A gender pay gap is not the same as unequal pay. We continue to focus on providing all employees, regardless of gender, with equal opportunities and a working environment that offers fulfilling and rewarding job roles.
I can confirm that the data reported above is accurate.
John Hopkins, Managing Director.
