Zero tolerance approach
Our zero tolerance approach extends to:

- Sexual Harassment: Unwanted conduct of a sexual nature, including unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours, or other verbal or physical conduct, which has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating, or offensive environment.
- Discrimination: Treating someone less favourably because of a protected characteristic they have, are perceived to have, or because of their association with someone who has a protected characteristic.
