We recognise the value of a diverse workforce in driving innovation and growth, and are committed to fostering a culture of inclusivity. With a non-discriminatory and inclusive hiring policy long implemented, we ensure a balanced representation of genders among our team members. By creating a more inclusive and empowering culture within our organisation, we hope to foster an environment where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential.

The DFI Women’s Network advances female leadership and promotes a more inclusive workplace environment. Since its launch on International Women’s Day, 8th March 2022, the network has organised a successful speaker series and workshops, all of which have seen strong participation from team members across different levels and geographies.

Building upon our first year’s accomplishments, on International Women’s Day in 2023, the DFI Women’s Network launched a new tailored mentorship programme for female team members. It empowers women’s leadership and promotes equity and personal growth, and aims to provide female professionals with guidance and access to tools that help them succeed in their careers. During 2023, we recruited and connected over 20 mentor-mentee pairs from various banners across our markets. We look forward to witnessing the positive impact this programme will have on their careers and personal growth.

“I’m proud to work for a company committed to fostering diversity, equity and inclusion. It is important to have a diversity of views from all team members as it leads to more innovative solutions and ultimately better business decisions, driving our collective success. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels heard and valued for their contributions.” Danni Peirce, Chief Executive Officer, 7-Eleven.

“Through personal experience, I understand the unique challenges that women often encounter. Don't quit, even when faced with challenges! Pursue your passions, hold onto your beliefs, and never underestimate the strength that arises from being authentic and true to yourself.” Erica Chan, Group Chief Legal, Governance and Corporate Affairs Officer.

“Building more gender equality and inclusion is a win-win-win for team members, our organisation and customers. Organisations that invest in their people this way tend to be both happier and more successful! ” Joy Xu, Group Chief People & Culture Office.
