Tencent advocates a culture of equality and respect. Our Sunshine Code of Conduct expressly forbids all forms of discrimination pertaining to nationality, race, ethnicity, gender, age and disability, as well as all forms of sexual harassment. “Rui Xue”, which serves as a guide for good behaviours for Tencent employees, was upgraded in 2021.

The emphasis placed on equality, mutual respect and tolerance are conducive to a civilized, healthy, equal and respectful workplace. We introduced Anti-Sexual Harassment Policy in April 2022, which includes a dedicated channel to allow the alleged victim to report cases in confidence and a set of procedures to ensure an investigation is conducted timely and appropriately, in addition to promoting awareness among our employees to prevent occurrence..

We value diversity, equality and inclusion. Tencent believes that a diverse and inclusive workplace helps us attract talents and allows employees to fully develop and innovate. Meanwhile, we have been integrating the diverse thoughts and perspectives of our employees into our products and services, thereby allowing us to realise our vision and mission of “Value for Users, Tech for Good”.

We have offices across China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Guangzhou, and other parts of the world, bringing employees from over 40 countries together to work at Tencent. We recognise the importance of cross-culture communication and cohesion among our multinational and multi-cultural workforce and have provided ongoing crossculture training to employees. We also created promotional videos, organised seminars, and provided one-on-one consultations to business and functional teams to reinforce a culturally diverse and inclusive work environment.

We strive to foster a family-friendly environment so working parents can achieve work-life balance and fulfil their responsibilities as parents or caregivers. In addition to flexible work arrangements that enable employees to work in ways that best suit them, we provide various additional benefits to employees who have children.
