This year, we’ve focused on strengthening our internal ecosystem to make DEI a business imperative through three structured forums. The GAVL DEIB Council convened in November to review the organisation’s priorities and agree on key work streams, with a focused emphasis on strengthening inclusion and growth pathways for women in manufacturing and sales.

As a first step, we launched the Women in Manufacturing Circle on 6 March 2026 through an in-person, full-day convening that brought together women colleagues from manufacturing locations across regions. Building on this momentum, we will launch the Women in Sales Circle as the next focus cohort in early FY27.
