Swissport has strict obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“the GDPR”). Compliance is therefore a responsibility embedded in all roles.

You are expected to demonstrate good practice to direct reports, and actively promote a culture of compliance.

Swissport and its employees have a strict duty under the Equality Act 2010, not to be discriminatory in their treatment of colleagues and customers, on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. Compliance with equality and diversity principles is therefore a responsibility embedded in all roles.

Specifically, you are required to:

• comply with equality and diversity policies and treat all colleagues and customers with dignity and respect (including in virtual and digital environments);
• respond positively, inclusively, and supportively to the different needs of colleagues and customers by reason of their protected characteristics;
• report and act upon all instances of discrimination, harassment, and bullying;
• proactively support direct reports to understand their responsibility for equality and diversity, including identifying and facilitating development where required. Ensure performance is measured against key performance indicators, to mitigate the risk of discrimination;
• proactively comply with, model, promote, and embed equality and diversity principles, in daily duties, project work, and strategic planning, to promote a culture of zero tolerance, an environment in which colleagues and customers feel safe and respected, and champion the value the business affords to equality and diversity;
• ensure changes to policies and practices are screened for compliance with equality and diversity principles, and embed compliance as a key performance indicator in strategic planning and project work;
• evaluate operational decisions to assess the impact on policies, procedures, and strategies with reference to equality and diversity.
