How We Manage
Equality and diversity in the working environment are integral parts of the corporate culture at Şişecam, which sets out its related goals with the vision of “Empower Society.” We also care about equality and diversity in our value chain. Launched in 2018 as part of "Equal Employment Opportunities," our Women-Friendly Plant initiative aims to remove barriers to women's participation in work due to gender inequality by establishing cooperation with universities and professional organizations. In 2021, Şişecam recorded a female employment rate of 22%. The same year, the Women Expression program was launched. Under this program, female managers selected from Şişecam talent pools support other female employees as mentors on key topics, such as strategic and global perspective, and leadership competency. At Şişecam, we conduct our operations based on the competencies of our employees, not their gender.
We aim to boost Group-wide female employment to 25% by 2030, implement the Women Expression program, and create a multinational working environment.
