Networks to promote diversity
Networks to promote diversity
Created in 2010, the WiN network (Women in MerseN) brings together male and female Group employees who want to work together to promote cooperation and mutual assistance, encouraging growth through greater diversity. In 2019, a Europe-wide network was launched giving new opportunities to meet and reflect on these matters.
