"At Evermos, we believe in the power of diversity and inclusion. Therefore, we are dedicated to creating an environment where women can thrive and make meaningful contributions," explained Andika Dwi Saputra, Head of ESG & Sustainability at Evermos. "This is realized through a number of programs implemented by Evermos, both for resellers, SME entrepreneurs, and women employees, such as providing working capital specialized for women SME entrepreneurs, free training programs for women resellers, as well as company policies towards women employees through office facilities and granting menstrual or maternity leave with enough time to accommodate their needs."
Evermos' commitment to women's empowerment not only shows the company's dedication to promoting gender equality and inclusivity, but also contributes to sustainable development goals.
