Corporate Sector Still Lacks True Zero Tolerance For Harassment: FWRMThe South Pacific Stock Exchange (SPX) and Reserve Bank of Fiji (RBF) ‘knowingly jeopardised the protection of female employees' after Sun Insurance engaged a senior executive who was recently convicted of sex offences.
After the company’s failure to respond directly to shareholder concerns, FWRM has confirmed the Fareed matter was also reported in writing to both the SPX and RBF with no apparent response.
When Sun Insurance made the decision to hire Fareed, FWRM acknowledges, he had the benefit of being presumed innocent until a court passed judgement.

FWRM calls for the adoption of a compulsory zero tolerance policy to Sexual Exploitation Abuse and Harassment (SEAH) by all companies publicly listed, and offers training for the leadership of these companies.
