GENDER EQUALITY STATEMENT -

While it is promising that our Gender Pay Gap has narrowed and is 3% ahead of industry (Car Retailing), we aim to continually improve on this. Attracting women to the auto industry is hindered by cultural stereotypes, a lack of representation, and barriers such as limited role models or concerns about harassment. Challenges also stem from the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields. In addressing these barriers we focus on fostering inclusive workplace cultures, showcasing women in leadership, offering flexible working practices and partnering with educational institutions to encourage women’s interest in automotive careers. We are proud to be a recurring partner to the CSIRO’s STEM Community Partnerships Program.

Gender disparities not only impact women’s financial well-being but also hinder the industry's ability to attract and retain diverse talent. Addressing this issue is a critical priority, and we are committed to taking meaningful steps to close the gap. This includes conducting regular pay audits, providing equal opportunities for career advancement, and fostering an inclusive culture where women feel supported to thrive. By taking decisive action, we aim to ensure a fair and equitable future for all employees across our group.
