A Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at JB
At JB, we believe in fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace where every individual feels valued. As part of our transformative journey, we’ve launched our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiative, ‘JB Harmony’.

We are committed to empowering women and enhancing their representation in our workforce hence the senior leadership will be championing this cause and providing support to create a cultural fabric of inclusion.
