We鈥檝e compiled a number of resources to help you create a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace.
Diversity, equity and inclusion are central and essential to fairness of opportunity, competitiveness of business, economic growth and our nation鈥檚 prosperity.
We believe having varied genders, races, ages, origins, sexual orientation, cultures, beliefs, abilities, education and life experiences is our strength and the wellspring of creative ideas and perspectives to spur innovation and excellence. In the spirit of reconciliation, we also reaffirm our commitment to building respectful relationships that support Indigenous rights and improve business opportunities for Indigenous peoples.
These values guide how we govern and function as an organization; enable and expand opportunities and a sense of belonging for our employees; create value and serve our members, businesses of all sizes and sectors, and communities; and develop partnerships to make a meaningful impact for a vibrant society and a stronger, more competitive economy.
