Ferro Alloys Corporation Limited (FACOR), a Vedanta Group company, marked International Pride Day with a vibrant and heartfelt celebration, uniting employees across departments in a strong show of solidarity and support for diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

As part of its larger “Transforming Workplace” initiative, FACOR has been actively fostering an environment where individuals—irrespective of gender identity or sexual orientation—feel safe, respected, and empowered to thrive.

This year’s Pride Day celebration featured powerful symbolic and participatory elements, including a handprint pledge wall where employees imprinted their hands as a symbol of allyship. The event also included interactive discussions on inclusion and open conversations that emphasized the importance of embracing and respecting diverse identities.

Speaking on the occasion, Pankaj Sharma, CEO of FACOR, said, “Inclusion is not a one-day conversation. It’s a continuous journey that reflects our core values. This Pride Day, our team didn’t just celebrate — we committed to one another and to building a truly inclusive culture. That’s what defines FACOR’s progressive spirit.”

The event reinforced FACOR’s unwavering dedication to equality — not only through words, but through inclusive policies, employee engagement programs, and a leadership vision that prioritizes respect at every level of the organization.

By celebrating authenticity and championing diversity, FACOR continues to set a benchmark within the industry for creating a workplace where everyone can belong, contribute, and grow.
