An Equal and Safe Workplace

We aim to foster an equal and safe workplace for all our employees. We believe in providing equal opportunities for career development, fair compensation, and unbiased recruitment practices, irrespective of an individual's background. Our aim is to create an inclusive environment where skills, ambition, and potential are the determining factors for growth within the company.

To ensure the well-being and productivity of our employees, we prioritize maintaining a safe and inspiring work environment. We actively engage in fundamental work environment initiatives and have implemented a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment. Through targeted and systematic preventive measures, we identify and mitigate risks, make informed decisions, and implement training programs and technical improvements to enhance workplace safety.

Carter Industrial Company is dedicated to providing safe and healthy workplaces. We strive to build strong teams characterized by a commitment to high quality and a comprehensive approach to sustainability. Together, we continually seek smarter ways to work, fostering a work environment that promotes not only safety but also positive collaboration, job satisfaction, and a healthy work-life balance.
This program serves as the foundation for our investments and daily safety practices. It includes mandatory interactive educational material for plant management, production managers, and supervisors. Additionally, we have established local Health & Safety committees to address work environment concerns from physical, social, and mental health perspectives.

In the latter half of 2022, we introduced new safety training digitally, delivered in three episodes. This rollout began at the end of the year and will continue throughout 2022 and beyond, ensuring that all production staff, including new hires, receive comprehensive safety training.

At Carter Industrial Company, we are proud of our commitment to an equal and safe workplace. By prioritizing the well-being and development of our employees, we strive to create an environment where everyone can thrive and contribute to the success of our organization.

Equal Opportunities to Develop

We aim to provide equal opportunities for all employees to develop and grow within the company. Our approach to recruitment, salary, and career development is centred around fostering equality, ensuring that skills, ambition, and potential are the primary factors determining employees' opportunities, irrespective of gender, age, or background.

In 2022, women comprised 43 percent of our workforce, reflecting our dedication to creating a diverse and inclusive environment. We recognize the importance of gender balance and have further set new long-term targets for 2030 to improve women's representation in our workforce.

We are proud to be equally appealing to women and men, and we have actively worked towards strengthening this positive development. Our proactive efforts, coupled with a diversified product portfolio, have enhanced our appeal to both genders. We are also witnessing an increasing number of women graduating from colleges and universities, acquiring the expertise we require. As a result, we are actively hiring more women engineers, further contributing to the gender balance within our organization.

At Carter Industrial Company, we understand that equal opportunities for professional development are key to fostering a thriving and inclusive workplace. By embracing diversity and providing equal opportunities for all, we create an environment that enables employees to reach their full potential, driving innovation and success for our company.

We remain committed to our vision of promoting equal opportunities for career growth, ensuring that every individual, regardless of gender, age, or background, has an equal chance to excel and contribute to the ongoing success of Carter Industrial Company.
