Social
Genel’s focus on being a responsible operator considers our responsibility towards the people who could potentially be impacted by our business; be it the host communities of the regions in which we operate, wellbeing and working conditions of our own workforce, or considerations of the same within our supply chain.
Genel’s Workforce
Genel’s dedicated and experienced teams have always provided the bedrock of our performance and remain a key source of pride to the business. Genel’s diverse global footprint requires a culturally diverse workforce, which collectively represents the key component to Genel’s success.

Diversity and Equal Opportunities
Our continued pursuit to promote diversity is an evolving process and more information can be found in our Diversity & Equal Opportunities Policy. This Policy helps support our commitment to diversity, and training on this is delivered to all employees at the start of their employment. This is intended to promote positive employee relationships that enable all individuals to make use of their skills, free from discrimination or harassment.
Social Investments
Investment in our host communities remains a hugely important feature of Genel’s business. Our social initiatives provide us with an opportunity to deliver meaningful investments in our host countries and improving the wellbeing of community members remains a significant driver for Genel, and forms an important element of our social responsibility.
