Combating Discrimination, Equal Opportunities and Diversity
OTE Group is committed to creating and ensuring a work environment that provides fair and equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of gender, age, race, religion, sexual orientation etc. Additionally, it has established procedures for preventing, detecting, and eliminating discrimination and harassment incidents against any employee.
The OTE Group Code of Conduct and Code of Human Rights and Social Principles constitute the framework for the behavior of all OTE Group employees. They connect the Group’s respect towards laws and regulations, together with specific commitments relating to ethical behavior. The combination of the two, together with the Guiding Principles, underpins the Group's success. At the same time, for the formulation of all OTE Group’s Human Resources policies priority is given on meritocracy, transparency, and non-discrimination.
Towards this direction, in 2021, OTE Group adopted the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy, ensuring comprehensive and integrated management of diversity and equal opportunities for all employees. Additionally, with this specific policy, the Group commits to reaching at least 30% representation of women in senior management positions (Directors, Executive Directors, Chief Officers) by 2024. Moreover, the processes, initiatives, and actions to achieve a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment that respects and promotes diversity are aligned with the Group’s strategy and culture, incorporating diversity into its core business model and daily operations.
