DIVERSITY & EQUAL PAY POLICY

FairPlanet is committed to promoting equality and diversity in all aspects of its organisation, its network of journalists, contributors and partners, and community of readers.

As an employer, FairPlanet promotes a diverse and inclusive working environment in which everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Our Equality and Diversity policy embodies an ethical rejection of discrimination, not mere compliance with statutory requirements.

FairPlanet pursues a global equal pay policy. Its staff members, as well as contributing journalists, who are located in more than 40 countries, are compensated equally - regardless of their country of residence.

In pursuance of this policy, FairPlanet aims to ensure that all staff, job applicants, clients and customers are treated fairly regardless of sex, gender reassignment, marital or civil partnership status, race (which includes colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin), physical ability, sexual orientation, age, medical status and religion or belief.

The promotion of equality and diversity is pursued through FairPlanet's recruitment and selection procedures, training, career development, disciplinary procedures and all other aspects of the organisation's management.

Our primary consideration in the recruitment process is the candidate's ability or potential to deliver high-quality performance and meet the job's requirements.
