President, APRIL Group

We are committed to promoting equal opportunities and participation for our female employees. As a company that supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, our goal is to ensure full and effective participation of women employees, in line with Goal 5 on Gender Equality. A number of key leadership positions at APRIL are in fact held by women, and our aim is for this trend to continue. Our long term APRIL2030 strategy, which we launched last year, actually includes our commitment to ensure women’s effective participation in our workforce and to provide equal opportunities for advancement.
