06 · Inclusion & diversity

An organization where everyone can be at their best.

We are committed to building an organization where inclusion is a core leadership value — where talented people of all backgrounds are welcome, everyone has a fair and equal opportunity to develop and progress, and our working environment supports people in being themselves.

Inclusion

Leveraging the diversity in our workforce to achieve full participation and optimum performance — empowering differences rather than suppressing them, so employees feel they belong: safe, trusted and respected.

Diversity

All the ways in which we are similar and all the ways in which we differ — people of different backgrounds and characteristics, including age, disability, ethnicity or race, gender, religion and sexual orientation.

Why inclusion comes first

Inclusion first allows us to attract diverse talent and lets diverse voices be heard — creating an environment where everyone can be at their best and fulfill their potential, working together to make a difference.

"Our ambition is to be an organization with a truly inclusive culture. We know that this is a pre-requisite to allowing real diversity to flourish. We also know that when our employees feel included, and a sense of belonging, they will contribute to the best of their ability. While we have made significant initial strides, we know it takes ongoing commitment to build a fully inclusive and diverse organization."

Catherine Dolmans · Chief Inclusion & Diversity Officer
