Orora diversity

Inclusive leadership: challenging unconscious bias

To be successful, leaders must respect and embrace the differences our people represent. This means pro-actively seeking out diverse perspectives when making decisions and actively engaging with team members who have different backgrounds and experiences. 

One of our priorities is to build the capability of our people to demonstrate inclusive leadership behaviours to drive a culture of outperformance. 

We have partnered with an external organisation to deliver inclusive leadership capability workshops for our leaders across Orora. The workshop builds awareness of the value of diversity and inclusion, and importantly, ways to recognise and challenge our unconscious biases. 

Our diversity targets

Orora announced a gender diversity target for the end of FY2017, with 30% of new hires to be female. We monitor and track this globally on a quarterly basis, and our talent acquisition team works tirelessly to identify new and innovative ways to attract and engage people from diverse backgrounds to our industry.

Women in Leadership at Orora (WILO) program 

A tailored development and networking program for Women in Leadership at Orora (WILO) was launched in August 2016. The program is designed for motivated women who are future-oriented, aspiring to create more in their working life.  Participants engage in a range of educational, networking and experiential learning activities. 

Through this program, we aim to develop a diverse leadership pipeline by helping our women realise their full potential and develop leadership skills to thrive and succeed in their career at Orora. It provides a unique experience, grounded in the principle of shared responsibility, which aligns women, their people leader, buddy, mentor, executive and board members as proactive supporters and coaches of development.

In keeping with the Orora culture and values, we work together to achieve greater individual, team and organisational results.

Our partnership with National Association of Women in Operations (NAWO) in Australia

We are proud to be a Gold Corporate Member of the National Association of Women in Operations (NAWO). We share a vision of women and men being equally represented and valued at every level and work together to develop and support the pipeline of women working in ‘operational’ businesses or functions as they progress through to business leadership and executive roles.

Our Diversity Council

Our Diversity Council is made up of eight team members from diverse functional teams, locations and backgrounds, who meet regularly to discuss diversity-related initiatives, statistics and to champion activities in support of all Orora team members.
