Kernel has participated in the conference arranged by the United Nations Fund for Population Activities in Ukraine – UNFPA Ukraine and Center for Corporate Social Responsibility Development.  Nataliia Kulchytska, Head of Kernel HR Department has signed the Declaration for Gender Equality and Prevention of Domestic Violence in online forum.

The Declaration ensures meeting the following goals by 2025:

1. To mainstream gender-sensitive approaches in the work of the company, create conditions for decent work and equal employment

2. To contribute to the  prevention of domestic violence and establishing zero-tolerance to all its forms

3. To develop and encourage cooperation to empower women’s rights and gender equality.

“It is not only the economic effect that matters for Kernel. First of all we are focused on what type of company we are building and what business environment we are creating. Equal opportunities and cultural diversity are important components of our corporate culture. The policy of equal opportunities and cultural diversity we are committed to in our company provides for the equal legal status and opportunities of its implementation for both men and women. It allows our employees, despite of their sex, be free to take advantage of their skills. Wage rate, career advancement, flexible work schedule for the employees having children, and making decisions on management team appointments in our company do not depend on gender. Signing the Declaration is one more important step for us on the way of development of existing initiatives aimed at the prevention of any discrimination and creation of equal rights and opportunities for all employees. I hope that in cooperation with other companies who signed the Declaration we will be able to share our experience and achievements in fostering gender equality principles in order to have more opportunities for everyone in our country”, – Nataliia Kulchytska stated.
