Top women together
Commenting on Implats’ participation at the conference Lee-Ann Samuel, Implats group executive: people said: “We are delighted to participate in Topco’s 18th annual Standard Bank Top Women Conference because its objectives are so closely aligned to our own goals of women advancement. As a business, we have taken decisive steps to create an environment conducive to gender equality and to address barriers to the employment, retention and advancement of women. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share some of these initiatives with others who are equally passionate about gender equality.”
Thabile Makgala, executive: Eastern limb at Implats adds: “Male-dominated industries, such as the mining sector, can be particularly challenging for female employees, which is why providing a platform for women to network, share information, seek guidance and be mentored by other professionals in business is so important for promoting gender equity.”
Topco Media warmly welcomes Implats on board!
