Gender Equality
We are committed to reaching and maintaining a target of 20% women on our Senior Leadership team. In 2022, we exceeded this target by 100%, with 56% of our Senior Leadership team identifying as women. Of our whole workforce, 43% identify as female, exceeding our original target by 13%.
We aim to raise awareness of gender equality and celebrate the talents of women in our workforce.
Diversity and Inclusion
Ensuring a diverse workforce is a key focus for Biological Preparations. We are committed to developing and nurturing a workforce that is representative of the customers we serve, from the frontline to the boardroom. We continuously strive to make improvements in the way we hire, develop and nurture our colleagues.
Biological Preparation’s achievement of 11% racially diverse colleagues on our Senior Leadership Team is testament to our commitment to Diversity and Equality. We celebrate this diversity by scheduling events and campaigns that shed light on the different religious holidays and cultures shared amongst our colleagues.
