The National Commission for the Promotion of Equality has awarded Bank of Valletta the Equality Mark after having successfully completed the certification process.

The award was presented during a conference in relation to the EU co-funded project entitled “Unlocking the Female Potential”.

The Equality Mark is awarded to companies which embrace gender equality as a fundamental value and base all decisions related to their employees on individual potential regardless of gender or caring responsibilities.

The accolade is confirmation that BoV has consistently upheld its pledge to safeguard the rights of all present and prospective employees. This pledge is met by nurturing potential and awarding individual achievement within a framework that is free from all bias.

The Equality Mark signifies a workplace that offers protection against sexual harassment and a commitment to the provision of family-friendly measures to all employees.

Michael Galea, chief officer operations at Bank of Valletta, who accepted the award from Justice, Dialogue and Family Minister Chris Said said family-friendly measures and initiatives that assist employees to find a balance between work and family commitments reinforced the bank’s commitment towards gender equality and underpin its efforts to be a model employer.
