Inclusion & Diversity

Unifying an increased diversity of abilities, backgrounds, experiences, and points of view empowers us to be a stronger and more strategic organization.

Building a Stronger Business and a Better Future Through Increased Diversity and Representation

Building a Stronger Business and a Better Future Through Increased Diversity and Representation

Creating an inclusive and respectful workplace that embodies broader perspectives and representation makes us a stronger organization.

Through the implementation of a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination, new programs to support inclusion, equitable and inclusive access to opportunities and shared ownership of these initiatives within our organization, we are working towards an environment that is safe, welcoming and respectful to everyone.

Our Goal: We will foster a more inclusive and equitable culture and increase the diversity in our workforce.

PPE For EveryBODY
PPE For EveryBODY
One of the barriers identified by WeCAN, one of our employee network groups, is a lack of appropriately sized personal protective equipment (PPE) at work sites in North America. To address this, the committee worked with the business and procurement team to shift from gender-specific PPE to inclusive sizing. In many cases, PPE was only available in extra-large sizes, which was not only an inclusion barrier, but also a safety issue. All operations are now ordering PPE in sizes to suit their workforce.
