Diversity at Cement Australia
Cement Australia's Commitment to Equal Opportunity for Women
Cement Australia is committed to developing and valuing a gender diverse workforce and becoming an employer of choice for women.
This commitment is being led by our CEO Chris Leon and the Executive Management Group. It is shown at all levels of Cement Australia and fully supported by our Chairman and the Board.
Our deliberate and honest drive to be a dynamic, diverse and family friendly employer has been supported by the implementation of opportunities and conditions to attract more women into the industry.
Our focus on equal opportunity for women is part of our broader diversity program designed to recognise and promote the benefits of workplace diversity and ensure all employees are treated with fairness and respect. The Cement Australia team is convinced that embracing diversity is not just the right way to operate, it’s the right way to do business. The success we have achieved since the formation of a merged Cement Australia in 2003 would not have been possible without the diversity we enjoy in our business.
