MBL Global

Diversity and Inclusion Policy

MBL Global Ltd is committed to building and maintaining an inclusive workplace where every employee feels respected, valued and empowered to contribute. Diversity and inclusion are central to our culture, our service delivery and our reputation as a global crisis response organisation.

Our Commitment

We recognise that our strength comes from the range of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives that our people bring. We value individual differences and do not tolerate discrimination of any kind. This includes differences related to age, colour, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical or mental ability, political belief, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio economic background, veteran status and any other characteristic that makes our employees unique.

Scope

This policy applies to all employees, contractors, consultants and anyone representing MBL Global in any capacity.

Principles

Our diversity and inclusion principles guide the way we recruit, manage and support our people. These principles are reflected in all policies and practices, including:

• Recruitment and selection that is fair, transparent and based on merit
• Equal access to compensation, benefits and development opportunities
• Professional development and training that enable career progression for all
• Promotion and transfer processes that ensure equity and objectivity
• Support for flexible working arrangements that help employees balance work and personal
  commitments
• Community engagement activities that promote inclusion and respect for diversity
• A working environment that fosters open communication, cooperation and representation of multiple viewpoints

Respectful Behaviour

Every employee has a responsibility to contribute to a respectful and inclusive workplace. This includes behaviour in the workplace, during client interactions, during travel and at all MBL sponsored events. Conduct that undermines dignity, equality or respect will not be tolerated.

Raising Concerns

Employees who believe they have experienced or witnessed discrimination, harassment or behaviour inconsistent with this policy are encouraged to raise concerns as early as possible. Reports can be made to a line manager or directly to the Human Resources representative. All concerns will be handled promptly, sensitively and in confidence wherever possible.

Breaches of Policy

Any employee found to have engaged in discriminatory behaviour or conduct that violates this policy may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

Review

This policy will be reviewed regularly to ensure alignment with legal requirements, best practice and MBL Global’s organisational values.
