INCLUSION & DIVERSITY

As a global business, it is critical to understand, embrace and operate in a multicultural world — both in our workplace and in the supply chain. Launched in July 2017, the mission of Fung Group’s global Inclusion and Diversity initiative emphasizes our culture of respect for all individuals and of valuing our differences and similarities. Our objective is to educate and create awareness among our colleagues, creating a collaborative working and learning environment. Read our Inclusion & Diversity Statement
