Lunch and coffee events throughout the week have been coordinated in areas of the group to empower and enable women to come together to discuss their experiences of bias, how they navigated it and how collectively we might help to eradicate it. These lunches are hosted in a number of divisions including Fendercare Marine, JF Rumic and JF Shipping Services, to give employees an open environment in which to discuss how we make take action to #BreaktheBias and show solidarity in support of women’s equality.

Fendercare Marine has embraced International Women’s Day by holding its largest lunch and coffee events to date. Its customers were in attendance across its international offices - in the UK, USA, Africa, Asia, South America, Middle East and India - to come together in a face-to-face setting to discuss their individual achievements and share their experiences of bias. As well as prioritising these lunches for its customers, Fendercare will also be holding a lunch at its London and Seething offices for all employees to attend. Although each lunch is taking place across different time zones, it demonstrates the group’s efforts to join its sites together in solidarity of International Women’s Day.

Driving the achievements of women and gender equality across the group’s Asia Pacific region, James Fisher Renewables new vice president, Maida Zahirovic, says:
