Respectful and Inclusive Workplace

Why?

The strength of our way of working is one of our most valuable assets and it impacts everything we do. The respect we show each other every day is central to this.

Our Commitments

  • Our workplace culture is based on dignity and respect, safety, and security. We are committed to maintaining a workplace free from harassment, abuse, and any form of physical or mental intimidation.
  • We recognize that respect and inclusion are essential to culture where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, perform, and feel valued and respected.
  • Leaders must role model respectful behavior and promote psychological safety and inclusion in their teams and functions.
  • We promote and reward colleagues based on merit, following objective and transparent criteria.
  • We provide fair access to training opportunities for all colleagues.
  • We have zero tolerance for any form of discrimination or harassment, and we treat such cases with the utmost seriousness.
  • We acknowledge that respect and inclusion in the workplace cannot be taken for granted. Both require continual effort, discussion, and reflection.

Your Role

  • Contribute to a positive, respectful, and inclusive work environment by treating colleagues with courtesy and respect.
  • Add value by taking the time to build good professional relationships and listen to different opinions with an open mind.
  • Communicate clearly and kindly, considering how your words or actions may impact others.
  • Manage stress and be mindful of its effect on your behavior—stress is never an excuse for disrespect.
  • Speak Up if you observe or experience any form of harassment or discrimination.
  • Be curious about what supports inclusion, recognize barriers, and proactively suggest improvements whenever you identify opportunities for a more inclusive environment.

Always Remember

Speak up if you observe bullying, discrimination, harassment or inappropriate behaviors, don’t be a silent witness.
