As a global leader in smart energy solutions, CHINT has always been committed to achieving sustainable development. Since joining the United Nations Global Compact in 2021, CHINT Global, a CHINT company, has always believed that promoting gender equality is crucial for achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. To this end, CHINT Global joined the United Nations Global Compact’s Forward Faster Initiative and Target Gender Equality projects in 2023, promising to further achieve gender equality by 2030.
Ms. Sanda Ojiambo, Assistant Secretary-General and CEO of the United Nations Global Compact, said: “Although we have reached the midpoint of the 2023 Agenda for Sustainable Development, work to achieve gender equality and economic empowerment as set out in Sustainable Development Goal 5 is still not on track. At the current rate, it will take 169 years for women to achieve full economic empowerment and participation and 131 years to close the global gender gap. Businesses are people-oriented and innovative and should play a leading role in achieving gender equality.With the mission of ” Light up boundless possibilities in E-life” and the core values of ” Customer Centricity, Openness and Inclusive, Innovation and Entrepreneurship“, CHINT Global is ready to provide rich opportunities and support for female employees to create a diverse and open corporate environment and a talent development strategy of gender equality. To this end, we have launched several measures:
PART.01
Promoting Employee Diversity and Opposing Gender Discrimination
CHINT Global values a diverse and inclusive work environment and provides equal opportunities for all employees, regardless of gender. Employee diversity has long been a key factor in ensuring the success of our business, and the first step in building a diverse workforce is to attract diverse talent. CHINT Global has established a “Zero Discrimination” employee recruitment and promotion mechanism, creating a non-discriminatory work environment and making every effort to recognise every hardworking employee.
PART.02
Promoting female leadership at all levels
We have a long history of women in key leadership positions across CHINT Global’s businesses, and we are proud of that. We are committed to providing more opportunities and platforms for women to excel. CHINT Global will continue to cultivate female leaders, continuously create a corporate culture and promote the sustainable development of women.
PART.03
Care for employees and their families
CHINT Global has developed an employee care programme to protect and promote the well-being of all employees. We will continue to innovate, create a safe and enjoyable working environment, and continuously improve our policies in areas such as maternity and paternity leave, flexible work arrangements, care for breastfeeding employees, and regular medical examinations.
PART.04
Creating an open, inclusive, and secure company culture
As a global company operating in more than 140 countries and territories, we believe it is important to address the cultural and social pressures faced by women in particular. Adherence to internal policies such as equal pay for equal work and zero tolerance of violence and sexual harassment is the foundation of our internal management. Through rigorous internal monitoring and ongoing training and awareness-raising, we are committed to creating a working environment where all employees feel safe and their work is fairly valued.In addition, we have established an anonymous complaints channel (email: esg@chint.com) that receives cases of alleged discrimination, violence and sexual harassment, determines whether the complaints are valid, and, if so, investigates and handles them internally. Cases may also be referred to local legal authorities for further actions if necessary.
PART.05
Sharing our knowledge and experience
CHINT has been included in the “Top Employers in China” list published by the Top Employers Institute for two consecutive years. We believe it is our responsibility to share our knowledge and experience in talent development strategies to promote progress in our industry and society as a whole. We also actively work with the United Nations Global Compact organisation to contribute to sustainable development goals through various activities, high-level roundtables and publications.
Looking to the future, CHINT Global is committed to ensuring that every employee, regardless of gender, race, religion, ethnicity or any other characteristic, can enjoy the unlimited opportunities that electricity offers in the new global green energy landscape.
