We strive to embed diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) in everything we do – from how we attract talent and support our employees to how we engage with the communities in which we live and work. People represent a variety of dimensions of diversity, including but not limited to: gender,
nationality, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, generation/age, socioeconomic status, marital/family status, religious beliefs, language, professional and educational background, and cultural experiences. Focusing on diversity alone is not enough. We also need our people to feel like they belong and welcome (inclusion) and experience fair treatment
and access to opportunities (equity).
Our DE&I Strategy focuses on three pillars with multiyear, measurable objectives to ensure our ongoing progress.
- Diverse workforce: Build a more diverse workforce, including achieving positive progress toward gender diversity within management and senior executive levels, while reflecting ethnic, cultural and disability diversity, so that we bring a wide variety of viewpoints to the important decisions we make and problems we solve.
- Inclusive culture: Foster an inclusive culture in which all employees are respected, valued and inspired to do their best work, including implementing an internal global DE&I series to develop employees on inclusive behaviours and other DE&I topics.
- Marketplace reputation: Enhance our external reputation by partnering with organisations and suppliers who share our passion for DE&I and support us in achieving our objectives.
We review our progress toward meeting our long-term DE&I goals annually, identifying short-term objectives to address areas where additional attention is needed. In addition, we follow both representational data as well as key performance indicators to ensure our talent practices are inclusive and equitable.
Disclosure and progress towards our objectives are available in our Annual Report and Corporate Governance Statement.
