Equal Opportunities

Scope:

This policy lays out the ways in which Panacea promotes equal opportunities for employment and progression within the Company and prevents practices of unlawful discrimination. It also outlines the ways in which we ensure that our Suppliers’ practices are in line with these laws and standards.

​

Policy:

  1. Panacea is committed to the principles of equality and diversity in employment. We recognise and value the benefits of employing people with a range of different backgrounds and characteristics.

  2. We do not discriminate against prospective or current employees on the basis of race, gender, age, nationality, religion, disability, sexual orientation, marital status or union membership status during the hiring process, when determining compensation, when providing access to training or promotion opportunities or through the termination of employment process.

  3. All company decisions relating to job applicants and employees, including recruitment, selection, training, development and promotion, should be made solely on the basis of the individual’s relevant aptitudes, skills and abilities.

  4. Panacea looks to work with Suppliers and Sub-Contractors who themselves reflect these policies and does not wish to support any business which engages in unlawful or discriminatory practices.

​

Panacea's Responsibilities
