We strive to make a positive social impact on our people, supply chain and place where we work. We engage proactively and fairly with our stakeholders to understand and address their needs. We support charitable causes that align with our sustainability goals and employees’ interests, extending our positive impact. By providing high-quality employment, we contribute significantly to economic stability.

We are committed to being a fair employer, ensuring equal opportunity and fostering an inclusive culture and workplace. Recognising that diversity enhances business success, we actively work to advance underrepresented groups and tackle social inequality through targeted outreach programmes. By nurturing talent from diverse backgrounds, we create a culture where everyone can thrive and contribute to our success.

Our commitments

We are working to support UN Sustainable Development Goals 5: Gender equality and 8: Decent work and economic growth as part of this pillar of our new sustainability framework. We have set the following strategic commitments to help drive progress:

• We will develop and deliver initiatives to drive greater gender and ethnic diversity
• We contribute to a fairer society more broadly, including by ensuring 100% of employees are covered by our Fair Pay Framework
   

Our progress

During 2025, we launched our evolved cultural DNA, which has been built on our strong cultural foundations and what makes Rotork unique, whilst aligning our culture more closely with our Growth+ strategic pillar, ‘Invest in our People and Culture’, enabling our culture to accelerate growth and scalability and be a driver of long-term success.

Employee feedback is critical to ensure colleagues’ views are considered when decisions are made at Board and management levels. During 2025, we again partnered with a third party to run our engagement survey. We saw a significant increase in the global engagement score, outperforming similar organisations participating in their second year with this engagement partner.

All colleagues should be appropriately and fairly rewarded for their contributions. In 2020, we launched our Fair Pay Framework, which includes five focus areas to guide our reward policies, procedures, systems, and decision making and support fair and competitive remuneration. Our original framework included a commitment to pay a real living wage (rather than the minimum wage) where this exists in a country. In 2021, we increased our commitment and now ensure we pay more than the living wage published in a country. Rotork is accredited as a Living Wage Employer by the Living Wage Foundation.
