Partnering for Diversity

We believe it is vital to partner with leading organizations to push towards a more diverse, equitable and inclusive culture. We are members of the Gender and Diversity KPI alliance where we join other leading in using key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure gender and diversity in the workforce.

We’ve also recently partnered with Paradigm for Parity®, an organization dedicated to addressing systemic gender and racial gaps in the corporate sector. We work together to develop and promote strategies that transform corporate leadership to assure that women of all races, cultures and backgrounds have equal power and opportunity to advance.

Our Diverse Team

Our People Mosaic is based on the concept of “Cultural Mosaic” (French: “la mosaïque culturelle”).

This idea artfully weaves together the mix of ethnic groups, languages and cultures that coexist within our society. A mosaic is also a powerful symbol representing multiculturalism. In our mosaic, each individual maintains their identity, preserving and supporting the culture, traditions and beliefs that make us all unique. The mosaic also integrates each individual as a piece of a coherent and meaningful whole which promotes diversity, equity and inclusion.

The mosaic image’s goal is to emphasize the uniqueness, the importance and the personal contributions of each person – every piece in the mosaic is necessary and important, otherwise the overall pattern is incomplete.
