Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

At World Sports Network, we believe that diversity and inclusion are not just moral imperatives, but also strategic assets. We are committed to building a diverse workforce and creating an inclusive environment where every employee feels valued, respected, and heard.

Our Mission and Vision

Our vision is to create a workplace that mirrors the diversity of the global communities we serve. People’s views can be influenced by race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, social class, age, and other factors.

We strive to be as inclusive as possible by taking into account all of the above factors not only when choosing our contributors, but also in the editorial guidelines we provide to all of our writers.

Our parent organization, Gentoo Media, currently employs staff from over 40 different countries, reflecting its commitment and dedication to diversity.

3. Policy and Governance

Establishing clear policies that advocate for diversity and prevent discrimination and harassment.
