Employees are our greatest asset, with well-being at the core of our purpose-driven culture focused on safety, DEI, and development; eSat rose to 79 in 2025, above the global top 25% benchmark.

Remuneration, integration and equality

Our compensation plans are designed to recognize each employee’s contribution and performance and are a cornerstone of recognising performance and behaviours. We are committed to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined in the United Nations’ 2030 agenda, particularly emphasizing gender equality (SDG 5) and reducing inequalities (SDG 10) through inclusive policies.   A key pillar of our commitment to equal opportunities is our Equality Plan. Our equality agents continuously monitor and implement measures to enhance women’s access to leadership roles and ensure fairness in recruitment and compensation, preventing gender discrimination.
