Summary
Fung Group is among the weakest performing companies, ranking 29th in this year’s Gender Benchmark with a low score of out 10.5 out of 100. It displays leading practice in 2 out of 34 indicators and is among the better performers on health and well-being in the supply chain and violence and harassment in the workplace. However, the company lags behind industry peers in all measurement areas overall, most notably governance and strategy and compensation and benefits.
Fung Group supports its supply chain suppliers in providing their workers with access to health information and services through its involvement with BSR’s HERhealth training programme which increased women workers’ knowledge of family planning, sexually transmitted diseases and available health services. It also partnered with Share Hope to provide women workers with breast and cervical cancer education and screenings. In the workplace, Fung Group prohibits violence and harassment through its anti-harassment and anti-discrimination policy and provides a remediation process with clear disciplinary actions for perpetrators.
Fung Group lacks an overall commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment across its full value chain and has not established gender-related targets . Moreover, the company fails to provide childcare or other family support to support employees with their unpaid care burden or offer them flexible work options . In the supply chain, there is no evidence that Fung Group supports its suppliers in ensuring workers receive formal contracts, a living wage or family-friendly benefits.
