Framework – Corporate Responsibility

Community & People

We create value for our people and clients by promoting diversity, fostering a culture of inclusion and supporting a healthy work – life balance. This helps us attract and retain the best talent, too. ACE FMPL has a mandate to hire a minimum percentage of differentially abled staff and staff from minorities and backward castes. Equal opportunities exist in the organisation for all employees and efforts are made through various training programs and through the inherent organisational culture to sensitize employees to the hardships faced by the lesser privileged.

• Ensuring fair and equal treatment and no discrimination or harassment
• Supporting minimum wages and compliance with work time regulations
• Avoiding use of child labour as well as forced or compulsory labour

We create value for our local communities by using our people’s time, skills and experience to make a lasting difference. This also inspires and engages our people, enriching careers and skills, and enhancing retention.

We have taken part in charity cleaning activities for NGO’s and Non Profit institutions working for good causes.
