DIVERSITY & INCLUSION: OUR COMMITMENT
We
believe
diverse
perspectives
drive
innovation
in
the
global
footwear
market.
Our
inclusive
workplace
spans
cultures,
genders,
abilities,
and
generations.
Through
initiatives
like
(Voice)
for
women's
empowerment
and
our
commitment
to
employing
differently-abled
individuals,
we
ensure
every
voice
is
heard
and
valued
across
our
APEX
FAMILY.
1.
Inclusive
Culture
At
Apex,
we
believe
that
our
strength
lies
in
our
differences.
We’re
building
more
than
a
company
—
we’re
nurturing
a
culture
where
every
voice
matters,
every
background
brings
value,
and
every
individual
is
empowered
to
reach
their
full
potential.
Our
Diversity
and
Inclusion
policy
is
not
just
a
statement
—
it’s
a
daily
commitment.
From
our
shop
floors
to
corporate
offices,
we
strive
to
create
an
environment
where
everyone
feels
seen,
heard,
and
supported.
Regardless
of
race,
gender,
ability,
or
background,
we
ensure
every
team
member
has
the
opportunity
to
grow,
contribute,
and
thrive.
Because
at
Apex,
inclusion
isn’t
just
good
practice
—
it’s
who
we
are.
2.
Equal
Opportunity
in
Talent
Acquisition
At
Apex,
we
believe
that
true
progress
begins
when
everyone
has
a
seat
at
the
table.
Our
talent
acquisition
practices
are
intentionally
designed
to
welcome
a
rich
diversity
of
voices,
perspectives,
and
experiences
—
because
we
know
that
great
ideas
come
from
everywhere.
We
are
committed
to
fair
and
equitable
hiring,
where
every
candidate
is
evaluated
solely
on
their
skills,
potential,
and
passion
—
not
their
background,
identity,
or
circumstances.
Equal
opportunity
isn't
just
a
statement
at
Apex
—
it's
a
responsibility
we
proudly
uphold.
This
commitment
is
reflected
in
our
workforce.
Across
our
Head
Office,
retail
network,
and
manufacturing
facilities,
we
have
successfully
integrated
individuals
from
a
wide
range
of
social,
cultural,
and
professional
backgrounds.
We’re
especially
proud
to
include
differently-abled
team
members
who
contribute
with
purpose
and
pride
in
roles
across
sales,
operations,
and
support
functions.
3.
Equal
Opportunity
in
Learning
and
Development
At
Apex,
we
believe
that
the
opportunity
to
learn
and
grow
should
be
available
to
everyone.
That’s
why
our
training
and
development
programs
are
built
on
the
principle
of
equal
access
—
ensuring
that
all
employees,
regardless
of
their
background,
role,
or
ability,
have
the
same
opportunity
to
advance
their
skills
and
careers.
These
initiatives
are
designed
not
just
to
inform,
but
to
inspire
—
helping
every
individual
become
a
stronger
ally,
a
better
teammate,
and
a
more
conscious
leader.
By
embedding
EEO
into
our
culture,
we
ensure
that
talent
is
recognized,
potential
is
nurtured,
and
advancement
is
driven
by
merit
—
not
bias.
4.
Empowering
Women
At
Apex,
we
are
deeply
committed
to
empowering
women
across
all
levels
of
our
organization.
We
believe
that
when
women
thrive,
workplaces
flourish
—
and
communities
move
forward.
That’s
why
we
continue
to
invest
in
creating
an
environment
where
our
women
colleagues
feel
heard,
respected,
and
supported
in
every
stage
of
their
professional
journey.
To
bring
this
vision
to
life,
we
created
‘Kontho’,
a
dedicated
platform
for
women
at
Apex.
Meaning
“voice”
in
Bengali,
Kontho
serves
as
a
safe,
empowering
space
where
our
women
employees
can
come
together
to
share
experiences,
exchange
insights,
and
engage
in
meaningful
dialogue
around
women-centric
issues.
More
than
just
a
forum,
Kontho
is
a
vibrant
community
for
development
and
networking
—
where
ideas
are
nurtured,
confidence
is
built,
and
support
systems
are
strengthened.
Every
woman
employee
at
Apex
is
encouraged
to
participate,
contribute,
and
grow
through
this
platform.
Through
Kontho,
we’re
not
just
fostering
conversations
—
we’re
cultivating
leadership,
amplifying
voices,
and
driving
real
change.
5.
Representation
across
Roles
We
proudly
have
women
serving
as
Sales
Associates,
Store
Managers,
Factory
Associates
and
in
other
key
managerial
positions.
Our
commitment
to
fostering
a
diverse
and
inclusive
workforce
is
reflected
in
the
significant
presence
of
women
in
various
roles
across
our
company.
6.
Race
&
Ethnicity
At
Apex,
we
celebrate
the
diversity
of
our
people.
We
are
proud
to
create
a
workplace
where
individuals
of
all
races
and
ethnicities
feel
a
strong
sense
of
belonging.
By
fostering
an
inclusive
environment
rooted
in
equity
and
mutual
respect,
we
ensure
that
every
team
member
is
recognized
for
who
they
are
—
and
valued
for
what
they
bring.
7.

We
believe
talent
knows
no
bounds.
At
Apex,
individuals
of
all
abilities
are
welcomed
and
empowered
to
contribute
meaningfully
across

—
from

head
office
and

stores
to
our
factory
floors.
We’re
committed
to
building
a
workplace
where
everyone’s
strengths
are
recognized
and
supported,
enabling
each
person
to
thrive
in
their
own
unique
way.

Faith
and
Practices
At
Apex,
we
honor
the
diverse
beliefs
and
traditions
that
shape
our

lives.
We
welcome
individuals
