Mark Alexander – CEO, AirTanker
AirTanker is proud to support, and be part of, the great work Women in Defence (WiD) UK are accomplishing in delivering their mission to accelerate gender equity in defence.
As a Fawcett Partner, we are actively committed and engaged to uphold our Charter Signatory Status, by challenging our ways of working, our behaviours and approach to inclusivity, and to create a greater sense of belonging and a culture that embraces diversity of gender, thought and experiences.
We are privileged to be part of WiD’s Critical Mass community’s ambition to realise their goal to ensure that 30% of defence roles will be filled by women by 2030.
Our pledge as a Fawcett Partner and Charter Signatory has helped shape our objectives and initiatives as an Inclusive Company, and we are already reaping the rewards of positive change. We believe that it is our moral and ethical duty to focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion, simply because it is the right thing to do. Therefore, we have created a Wellbeing & Inclusion programme to ensure fairness of opportunity, to create a sense of belonging for our people, whether that is through one of our Employee Networks, or participating in a health, wellbeing, or an EDI event. We want a thriving culture that respects, positively regards, and values our people for who they are.
The WiD Awards provide a terrific opportunity to come together and to celebrate collectively the Defence Enterprises hard work, and we wish all nominees the very best of luck!
