Diversity, Equity and Inclusion 

We believe that an inclusive culture that values diversity delivers better business outcomes, enables our people to achieve their full potential, and creates sustainable outcomes for the benefit of communities in which we work.

We will:

  • Foster an inclusive culture that values diversity, where everyone who works for, or with us, feels safe, respected and included.
  • Embrace our unique geographic footprint, celebrate our cultural differences and build a workforce that is representative of the communities in which we work.
  • Design initiatives based on our values and bring them to life by applying, demonstrating and reinforcing DEI through everyday actions and experiences.
