At Yara, we are committed to having a diverse environment where everyone grows and feels included
Diversity, equity and inclusion are the core principles that guide our business and growth in India. These apply uniformly across our ecosystem — management, employees, value chain partners and key stakeholders. We foster an inclusive culture that empowers people across social and economic strata, genders and diverse backgrounds, helping bring the marginalised into the mainstream of national progress. Our policies and systems ensure fair, impartial and equal opportunities for all.
At Yara India, we are working to strengthen workforce diversity by improving gender balance and bridging gaps arising from differences in age, experience and socio-economic background.
Here are a few examples that show our commitment to strengthening our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion agenda
Women in Agronomy Program
Female agronomists frequently face challenges their male counterparts are typically not experiencing, both internally and when meeting customers and distributors. Our ''Women in Agronomy'' program was launched in late 2020, involving 60 women across all regions.
Through mentoring, networking and visibility channels, the program connects emerging female talents with more experienced female colleagues, building trust and confidence.
GrowX
Yara is making significant investments in India to enhance the leadership and business management capabilities of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in our community. We achieve this by facilitating their participation in the Yara Capacity Building Programme, an intensive MBA-inspired education module. In 2022, the first cohort of MSMEs underwent training through the YLA. Recently, GrowX conducted a training program for 700 MSMEs and their affiliates, empowering them with essential skills for sustainable growth and success in the business landscape.
