Swire Pacific was one of 14 corporations in Hong Kong to receive an Equal Opportunity Employer Gold Award in the Equal Opportunities Commission’s ("EOC") annual recognition scheme, announced in May. The company was recognised for its stance on gender, diverse abilities, family status and race. The award recognises Swire's efforts in promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace, and also highlights the company’s market leadership, in using its influence to create positive impact in the Hong Kong community.
John Swire & Sons (H.K.), Cathay Pacific, HAECO, Swire Coca-Cola and Swire Properties were also recognised as two-year charter signatories to the Racial Diversity & Inclusion Charter for Employers drawn up by the EOC. This year, Swire Trust is partnering with the Zubin Foundation in their Emerging Talent Internship Project to provide ethnic minority university students with corporate exposure that will give them confidence to pursue their career aspirations. HAECO has also established the first employee resources group focusing on racial inclusion. This progress would not have been possible without the collective support of all operating companies within Swire Pacific, and the group as a whole will continue to demonstrate its commitment to building a diverse and inclusive work environment.
