Pantera Group Limited recognises the benefits of a diverse workforce and is committed to providing a working environment that is free from discrimination.
We will seek to promote the principles of equality and diversity in all our dealings with employees, workers, job applicants, clients, customers, suppliers, contractors, recruitment agencies and the public.
All employees and those who act on the Company's behalf are required to adhere to this policy when undertaking their duties or when representing the Company in any other guise.
Unlawful discrimination of any kind in the working environment will not be tolerated and the Company will take all necessary action to prevent its occurrence, as stated in the Equality Act 2010.
The Company will treat every individual fairly under the Protected Characteristics contained within the Act being Age, Disability, Gender Reassignment, Marriage or Civil Partnership (in employment only), Pregnancy or Maternity, Race, Religion or Belief, Sex or Sexual Orientation.
This commitment applies to all aspects of engagement, including:
Pantera respects freedom of association and the effective right to collective bargaining. Workers have the right to form and join organisations of their own choosing and to leave them voluntarily.
Workers are freely able to establish or join worker organisations of their own choosing without interference or intervention.
While positive measures may be taken to encourage under-represented groups to apply for employment opportunities, recruitment and promotion to all jobs will be based solely on merit. All employees will have equal access to training and other career-development opportunities appropriate to their experience and abilities.
The Company will treat seriously complaints of discrimination made by employees, clients, customers, suppliers, contractors or other third parties and will take action where appropriate.
Allegations regarding potential breaches of this policy will be treated in confidence and investigated thoroughly. If a person makes an allegation of discrimination, the Company is committed to ensuring that it protects them from victimization, harassment or less favorable treatment.
