Inclusion, diversity, equal opportunities, and safe working conditions for all employees are concepts that have gained significant momentum within companies worldwide, especially alongside the development of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies. While some organisations may view these principles as new or burdensome, for others, like our FCC group, they are deeply embedded in our core values. Inclusion Diversity Equal Opportunities Safe Environments With our international footprint and diverse ownership structure, national and linguistic diversity is not a novel concept for us; it’s a way of life. Operating across seven countries, the FCC Environment CEE group boasts a workforce comprising 36 nationalities. From Czechs and Austrians to Cameroonians, Ukrainians, Indians, Israelis, and Cape Verdeans, our team collaborates seamlessly, reflecting a rich tapestry of backgrounds. You’ll also find individuals from Iran, Moldova, Tunisia, Italy... and beyond, among us. A Gender equality holds genuine significance within our organisation. Despite the waste management industry’s historical association with men, women constitute 25% of our workforce overall and hold 44-75% of office positions. In celebration of International Women’s Day, we’ve spotlighted eight remarkable women in another article of this publication. While youth may bring vitality and offer fresh perspectives, we equally cherish experience, loyalty, and wisdom. At our company, we embrace newcomers for their energy and enthusiasm, while also valuing seasoned professionals for their expertise and invaluable insights. The average age of our workforce is 46 years, reflecting a balanced blend of generations. Our commitment to employee well-being is evident in the fact that 20% of our staff have been with FCC for 15 years or more. At FCC Environment CEE Group, we champion skill and talent in all forms.
