Gender Pay Gap Report

PENNY PETROLEUM GENDER PAY GAP REPORT FOR APRIL 2018

Whilst Penny Petroleum is not required by law to publish an annual gender pay gap report due to our organisational structure, we have decided to do so because the collective headcount across our group of companies is higher than 250.

This is its report for the snapshot date of 5 April 2018.

What are the underlying causes of Penny Petroleum’s gender pay gap?Penny Petroleum does not have a significant gender pay gap. The mean gender pay gap has been reduced from 3.37% in 2017 to 2.69% in 2018, which is very pleasing. There is a gap in mean bonus payments, which is due to the fact that within our senior and area management team, who are in receipt of the highest bonuses, as of 5th April 2018 there were four men and only three women.

What is Penny Petroleum doing to address its gender pay gap?Penny Petroleum does not have a significant gender pay gap, however, we are continually monitoring our pay and reward systems to ensure that men and women are equally rewarded.
