NEWS International Women's Day 2024

04 March 2024

This year’s theme for International Women’s Day is Count Her In: Invest in Women, Accelerate Progress, which is achieved by women having equal access to education, employment pathways, financial services, and literacy. Fredon Group CEO, Scott Olsen, recognised all of the women in our businesses and their achievements, and contributions to Fredon, Aserve, Sturdie, and our industry. 

“As part of the Fredon Group, Sturdie is dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive workforce with equal opportunities for all while ensuring a respectful and safe working environment.“ 

“When women are given equal opportunities to earn, learn and lead entire industries and communities thrive.” 

“To advance our commitment, we established the Fredon Women’s Network last year. An internal special interest group that provides opportunities and support to enhance the status and influence of women in our industry. The network has chosen to focus on two key areas Empowerment Training and Promotion and Recruitment, both of which will contribute to accelerating progress for women.” 

Thank you to our staff members who shared their thoughts on Investing in Women and Accelerating Progress and their experiences as women working in the construction industry, as well as our Women’s Network for their ongoing focus in this area.
