2 Online training (for example, anti-bribery and corruption and ethics training) is not recorded in these statistics.
3 Targets: maintain 70% black representation and 50% women representation on the annual graduate programme intake.
4 Total number of training hours delivered to all employees is not currently recorded centrally, however, once the new learning management system is implemented the scope of this metric will be expanded. During F2021, Logistics International employees received training on the code of conduct, data protection, IT security, corruption prevention and antitrust laws.
