1 00:00:05,366 --> 00:00:10,601 At Orana we’re working with several of the Sustainable Development Goals, including goal number 5 about equality. 2 00:00:10,898 --> 00:00:18,141 We work specifically to increase opportunities for our many female workers so they can achieve a healthy work-life balance. 3 00:00:18,409 --> 00:00:23,028 One example is our factory in Vietnam where we produce fruit based commodities for industrial use. 4 00:00:23,467 --> 00:00:28,652 Fifty percent of the workers are female, and women hold seventy percent of the leadership positions. 5 00:00:28,944 --> 00:00:35,509 A past problem for us in Vietnam was that women quit their jobs either when they married or by the time they had children - 6 00:00:35,509 --> 00:00:41,467 which meant that all the money we spent on training them, were lost when we had to find replacement to be trained for the same job. 7 00:00:42,512 --> 00:00:49,166 To solve the problem of a high employee turnover of the women of Orana Vietnam, we introduced a Danish workday. 8 00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:55,358 Work is only Monday through Friday, and Saturday is a day off even though it’s traditionally a Vietnamese workday. 9 00:00:56,106 --> 00:01:03,850 In addition, the workday ends at 4pm which allows the women to pick up their children from daycare and enjoy family time in the evenings. 10 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,968 The best assistance to third world countries is to create sustainable business. 11 00:01:08,621 --> 00:01:14,406 Many businesses think that working with the SDGs costs money, but it doesn’t have to. 12 00:01:14,780 --> 00:01:20,232 We can only recommend other companies to work with the SDGs and assist in sustainable development.
