Numerous recent challenges worldwide prove the thesis modern philosophers and thinkers support: our world is on the verge of a civilizational shift - the one where inclusive thinking, values set, and behaviors are core. To respond to the societal request, we developed DE&I and gender strategies to consciously and consistently include underrepresented populations, make their voices heard, and consider them. We have been investing and continue to work hard on women's empowerment, barriers elimination to decrease to make every of our talent to be included. Not only due to the potential of substantially higher operational efficiency. Predominantly because for us, it is the right thing to do. It is the only way to be in the avant-garde of the new civilization, reinforcing resilience, innovation, and well-being for all.
