Policy
We are committed to cultivating a work environment where all colleagues feel valued, respected, and motivated to grow. This includes fostering open communication, recognizing contributions, offering meaningful opportunities for development, and ensuring fairness and transparency in all interactions.
Ethical leadership, respect for human rights, and continuous improvement are central to how we manage this commitment.
As part of our commitment to fairness and dignity at work, FPS ensures that all colleagues receive a local living wage, a level of pay that covers essential needs such as food, housing, healthcare, and education.
We regularly assess wage levels across our operations to ensure alignment with local living standards and act promptly where gaps are identified. These expectations extend to our suppliers and contractors, as outlined in the FPS Supplier Code of Conduct.
Actions and Initiatives
Promoting Well-being
The health and well-being of our colleagues is a top priority at FPS.
We integrate well-being into our corporate culture through a holistic framework that addresses physical, mental, and financial aspects of life.
We are committed to maintaining a safe, supportive, and inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive.
Key pillars of our well-being strategy include:
Health and safety: Strict protocols to prevent workplace hazards.
Financial well-being: Inflation-sensitive support in high-cost geographies to help colleagues maintain their living standards.
Mental and emotional health: Team-building activities, social events, and open communication channels.
Work-life balance: Flexible work arrangements, remote working and support programs.
Community connection: Local engagement initiatives supporting colleagues and their families.
Psychological support: Psychological safety initiatives have been launched across countries. In the UK a Mental Support Coach program has been introduced, and in Türkiye employees have access to the Avita support application.
To bring our well-being strategy to life, FPS has launched several initiatives:
The Omniversal Life Impact Program (OLIP): A long-term initiative that promotes community well-being, sustainability, and social responsibility.
Climate Champions & Social Ambassadors: Colleague-led teams dedicated to environmental and social impact, advancing inclusion, engagement, and sustainability.
Sports & Wellness Events: Activities such as volleyball tournaments, photo contests, and cultural celebrations promote team spirit and satisfaction.
Colleague Recognition Programs: Award ceremonies and appreciation events that foster a sense of belonging and motivation.
Colleague Engagement Surveys & Town Hall Meetings: Regular feedback mechanisms like GPTW engagement surveys and quarterly town halls to listen to employee voices and shape action.

Engagement Building Events
At FPS, we believe that a thriving work environment is built on engagement, teamwork, and wellbeing, which are essential to fostering a positive workplace culture. Our recent activities, such as the Lunar New Year celebrations in China and Vietnam, the soccer tournament in Vietnam, and our participation in the Al-Dabbagh Group’s Art for All competition, where we were rewarded with two art awards, reflect our commitment to these principles. In the United States, a diversity event was organized to embrace and celebrate every culture.
In addition, we celebrate the diversity that makes us unique, as demonstrated by our FPS Mexico team’s beautiful Día de Muertos celebration.
This event, deeply rooted in Mexican culture, allowed colleagues to celebrate life with color, remembrance, and joy. Such activities bring our colleagues together, fostering a sense of belonging, creativity, and connection.
In addition to global cultural events, we promote everyday appreciation and connection through local initiatives that recognize positive behavior and celebrate personal milestones. Across our sites, colleagues are regularly acknowledged for their contributions and respectful conduct, and we celebrate monthly birthdays to strengthen team spirit and create joyful moments, especially among our production teams. These practices contribute to a supportive, people-centered work culture that values recognition and inclusion at every level of the organization.
Hayati Kaptı Sustainability Award
To honor the legacy of our former Türkiye Operations Director Hayati Kaptı, we have an award system that recognizes those who turn sustainability into action for the environment, people, and communities since 2022.
Held every two years, the award celebrates teams and individuals who go beyond intention and create real, lasting impact. As a mark of recognition, winners earn the opportunity to participate in the WaterSafe Initiative in Kenya, a hands-on experience that connects them to one of the world’s most pressing sustainability challenges, water security.
Last winners Nataliia Melnyk and the FPS Ukraine team claimed this honor with the project named “Together We Stand” rooted in mental health support and community resilience.
Engaging Our People on World Environment Day
At FPS, we believe that meaningful sustainability progress starts with awareness, engagement, and collective action. To mark World Environment Day on June 5, we organized a global webinar to bring our colleagues together around key environmental and social sustainability topics.
The session featured a guest speaker from the UN Global Compact Netherlands, who joined us as Climate Lead to share valuable insights on current climate challenges, corporate responsibility, and the role of businesses in driving positive change. The webinar provided an interactive platform for learning, reflection, and dialogue across our global teams.
To further engage participants, the session concluded with a sustainability quiz covering both environmental and social topics. The initiative not only reinforced key learnings but also encouraged active participation and knowledge sharing among colleagues.
As part of this initiative, FPS made donations to WaterSafe on behalf of the three winning colleagues, linking employee engagement with tangible social impact.
This initiative reflects FPS’s commitment to fostering a culture of sustainability, empowering colleagues, and connecting individual actions with broader environmental and social outcomes.
