Gender equity is an important part of Veolia’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. We proudly welcome and celebrate all cultural backgrounds, genders, ages and abilities, acknowledging that this breadth of diversity allows us to have a stronger and safer workplace, and to deliver more for our customers.
Veolia Australia submits an annual report to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA), contributing to their world-leading dataset on gender equality in Australian workplaces. Access the report below to learn about Veolia Australia's gender equity commitment and performance.
As Australia’s leading environmental company, with more than two thirds (68%) of our workforce being operational, we place an increased focus on gender equity. This is because our blue collar jobs are traditionally sought after and filled by males.
Driven by our executive leadership team, which is made up of 50% women, we deploy the following policies and initiatives to help close the gender gap:
- Ensuring equal pay for all genders in the same or comparable roles
- Offering flexible work arrangements
- Conducting recruitment campaigns targeting women
- Providing Women in Leadership training
- Implementing operational training programs like Women on Wheels (a driver training initiative), to create new pathways into male dominated operational roles
- Gender equity is also a key focus area for our internal Diversity and Inclusion Council.
