Explanation
The Company has adopted a Diversity Policy, a copy of which is available on the Company's website at www.revasum.com.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and for reporting to the Board on the Company's progress towards achieving its measurable objectives each year. The Diversity Policy requires the Board to adopt measurable objectives to assist the Company to achieve gender diversity and to review the Company's progress in meeting these objectives.
The Company did not set measurable diversity objectives during the reporting period due to the size of the Company. The Company believes that diversity is important however, and is proud that its workforce includes employees from various cultural, ethnic, age and religious backgrounds. The Board will continue to regularly assess setting measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity.
The respective proportions of men and women on the Board, in senior executive positions (defined as the CEO and all direct reports to the CEO) and across the whole organisation are as follows:
Male (%) | Female (%) | |||
Board | 75 | (2020: 100) | 25 | (2020: 0) |
Senior Executive | 60 | (2020: 50) | 40 | (2020: 50) |
All Employees | 74 | (2020: 75) | 26 | (2020: 25) |
The Company is not a "relevant employer" under the Workplace Gender Equality Act.
