Commitment to fair employment

Equal opportunity and diversity

As an international company one of our core values is diversity, also regarding the origins of our employees. When possible we hire on the local labour market but in strategic positions or where knowledge transfer to local employees is necessary we fill positions using expatriates. This type of employment can last for a maximum of 3 years: such positions should be filled by local employees after knowledge transfer is completed.
In 2009 we conducted a voluntary and anonymous survey in MOL Plc. (asking ca. 4,700 employees and receiving more than 800 answers, 17% of MOL Plc. employees) about their opinions on workplace equal opportunity practices, their ethnic background, changed work abilities and any physical or mental disabilities.
According to this survey and a former statistical analysis of MOL Plc’s internal HR database we created our own diversity indicators on equal opportunity: like number of workforce by minority individuals, any form of disability, education, etc.
