There is little information available with regard to how ANTA considers the fair representation of women in the workplace. While its workforce is 64% female, there are no women represented on the company’s board of directors or among its senior executives. The company does, however, disclose the gender composition of its workforce across three occupational functions: office staff, retail staff and factory staff.
No publicly available information was found regarding how the company promotes gender equality in leadership across its workplace or in the supply chain. Neither were details found on whether the company offers professional development programmes or equal promotion opportunities to its women employees. However, the company is preparing to disclose the number of women employees participating in its development trainings in the future.
In the supply chain, there is no information regarding how the company addresses the systemic discrimination that women face, for example by requiring suppliers to have a policy in place that explicitly protects pregnant and married women workers or creating an enabling environment for women to exercise their rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining. Neither is information disclosed concerning whether the company actively procures from women-owned businesses or takes specific actions to increase the procurement spend directed to these businesses.
