Nestlé Pakistan was recognized as one of the most progressive organizations in Pakistan at the Global Diversity and Inclusion Benchmarks (GDIB) Awards 2020. Nestlé Pakistan won three best practice awards in the categories of Vision, Leadership and Structure respectively at the annual diversity and inclusion conference in Karachi.

The recognition signifies Nestlé Pakistan's constant commitment towards promoting diversity for creating an inclusive culture, and its purpose of embracing and enhancing the quality of life for all, while contributing to a healthier future, both within and outside the organization.

Talking about the achievement, Akmal Saeed, Head of Human Resources at Nestlé Pakistan said,"We have been working to implement diversity and inclusion principles every step of the way within our organizational structure as well as outside our business. We have incorporated D&I performance goals which helps us stay motivated and demonstrate excellence in using GDIB Standards."

"In order to promote a diverse and inclusive culture at our workplaces, we have been working on programmes such as "Hai Tum Pe Yaqeen" - an initiative for differently-abled and "Phir Se Ker Dikhao" - that provides the right coaching and experiential leaning for women to connect back with their work life. Meanwhile, in the "Kero Aitmaad" programme, we try to break stereotypes and encourage young female university students by sharing stories of those that joined the workforce, instilling hope, ambition and self-confidence," he added.-PR
