In the ever so vibrant mosaic of Pakistan’s evolving corporate landscape, METRO Pakistan (Pvt) Limited has been on an upward and transformative journey that redefines the essence of how we work, connect and thrive with each other. Our people whether they are our business partners, or our employees are at the very core of what we do. At the heart of this journey lies the guiding star of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion known as DE&I. Like a compass needle it directs us towards a future where our differences are celebrated, our opportunities are equal, and every voice finds resonance.
Within METRO we cherish the symphony of diversity. Our workforce isn’t just a collection of employees rather a tapestry of distinct backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. We at METRO believe that innovation has always bloomed where the roots are held together with diversity. When it comes to equity, we firmly believe that every member of our closely knit family deserves a balanced playing field.
For that purpose, we make sure merit, talent and dedication towards the company values and work are the sole determinants of success. This commitment towards equity is our everlasting commitment to justice and fairness being promoted and implemented in our workplace environment.
Inclusion at METRO is our cultural essence. It is not merely a word but an active practice that we try to follow in our workplace to create an environment where everyone feels seen, heard and valued. Where difference and authenticity are celebrated. We work on this by building bridges between everyone rather than barriers by inviting everyone to bring and be their whole selves without the fear of judgment or bias.
This journey that METRO has always been trying to stay on with evolution is not only just a policy but a celebration of perspectives. It is from the richness of backgrounds, experiences and worldviews alongside the difference of opinion that is brought in that we draw our inspiration, innovative solutions and fresh ideas. Each member of our team we believe is a storyteller and together we weave a narrative of excellence, change and a better tomorrow.
LET US INSPIRE INCLUSION
Every year on March 8, the world comes together to celebrate International Women's Day. The day celebrates the achievements and contributions of women in our life, a day set aside to honor women’s contributions to society, the economy, culture, and politics while also bringing attention to the difficulties and challenges faced daily.
We commemorate this day with the leadership recognizing our female colleagues for all that they do every day. Sharing stories of the incredible contributions of women in their lives, showing appreciation and gratitude to those who inspired, uplifted and made a difference in their world.
As part of the METRO fraternity, let’s inspire inclusion, reaffirm our commitment to create a workplace where all women are empowered, valued, and included by working together to break down barriers and foster diversity, build a more equitable and inclusive METRO Pakistan.
Every woman is a blessing to our world because, as the Chinese proverb says, "Women hold up half the sky."
METRO Pakistan - Environmental Social Governance (ESG) CFT members visited Akhuwat Women's College Chakwal on June 6, 2024. Akhuwat Women's College Chakwal is a residential institution that houses and educates talented young women selected on merit from across Pakistan. The College's mission extends beyond providing quality education; it aims to nurture and develop the unique talents of its students.
During the visit, our team conducted a comprehensive counseling session with these bright women from all over Pakistan. The session's primary objective was to promote awareness about equal opportunities at METRO Pakistan in line with Diversity Equity & Inclusion policy; also guiding and encouraging these young women to join workforce, grow themselves and contribute positively towards the development of our country. The team also emphasized our company’s commitment to fostering a ONE METRO culture.
