DE&I is ingrained in the company’s DNA, making the policy a natural outcome of this ethos. The Group recognizes the pivotal role DE&I plays in fostering workplace respect, driving organizational success, and ensuring sustainability for all stakeholders. One notable manifestation of inclusivity at a sector level is evident in WBTL’s tours tailored to accommodate people with disabilities. Moreover, the Group’s pioneering efforts in providing career opportunities to individuals with disabilities are now regarded as a sector-wide initiative.
