We commit to upholding, protecting, and embracing people with different thinking, background, culture, disability, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, age, religion and other life experiences.
We endorse The Women’s Empowerment Principles, or WEP, and we are committed to implementing the principles at all levels of our business. To reaffirm our commitment in respecting human rights and stance against modern slavery, we introduced a Human Rights Policy in 2023.
Our Board Diversity Policy recognises the value of diversity in the composition of our Board and endorses the principle that our Board should cultivate a balance of skills and experience as well as a diversity of perspectives that are aligned with our business. We embrace differences and believe that a diverse workforce drives innovation and growth within the Company.
We are committed to ensuring fair and equal treatment of all employees, regardless of their gender, age, race, ethnicity, disability, religion or sexual orientation. We provide equal employment opportunities and have a non-discriminatory hiring process that focuses on a candidate’s qualifications, skills and experience relevant to the role, as well as the Company’s needs when evaluating their suitability.
We are committed to creating places that are accessible and welcoming to all people and ensuring that local heritage and cultures are respected and embraced. At our properties, various BFA facilities are provided, such as ramps and accessible washrooms; low-levelled design customer service counters for wheelchair users; tactile guide paths, tactile maps with braille signs and voice navigation function for the convenience of visually impaired users. Our front-line officers receive regular training on how to assist visitors with different needs.
Maintain an independent and diverse Board (considering skill set, industry expertise and experience, background, ethnicity, age and gender)
The Board will have a minimum representation of 30% of either gender
Build a diverse workforce that represents the communities we operate in (considering skill set, industry expertise and experience, background, ethnicity, age and gender), with a gender diversity ratio of AGM+ at 50%(1)
Ensure equal opportunities for recruitment and career advancement
(1) Given the relatively small population of AGM+ and fluctuations resulting from staff turnover and headcount changes, we anticipate that the gender diversity ratio of AGM+ may periodically vary within a 2% range of the 50% target (i.e. 48% to 52%).
