Definitions
Diversity refers to the company's diverse society, in terms of gender, age, language, national origin, religion or belief, culture, and other differences and similarities. We value diversity because it strengthens the company and encourages creativity. A diverse work environment enhances inclusivity and fosters a sense of belonging within our team.
Inclusion means that all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources, and can contribute fully to the organization's collective objectives. Maintaining a diverse environment and promoting inclusion are two mutually beneficial and complementary approaches we honor and respect.
Equity refers to the provision of consistent, systematic, fair, and impartial treatment for all employees, contractors, and clients.
Belonging reflects each employee's sense that they are welcome, accepted, valued, and appreciated for their diverse backgrounds and experiences. An inclusive work environment helps foster a sense of belonging.
