Currently, women represent 42 percent of Mars’ talent pipeline globally, and their goal is to increase this by two percent each year.

Recognising this, at DBL Group we have focused on increasing the number of female workers: in 2012 women made up only 35 percent of DBL’s female workers in its garments manufacturing units, but today, in 2018, almost half of our employees (49%) are female.
