Avant Meats does not explicitly state its approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion on its website. The company does have a global presence, with operations in both Singapore and Hong Kong, and its job posting for a Director/VP of Finance notes that the position is open to both Singaporean and non-Singaporean residents. This suggests that the company has some awareness of the need to accommodate a diverse workforce, but further details about its specific approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion are not available.
