Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
Why This Matters
Our Commitment to Fair Opportunity
We are increasing representation and building an inclusive workplace where all colleagues can be their true selves, contribute to our success and reach their full potential.
Our Workplace Priorities
Inclusive Engagement
We are collectively responsible for ensuring all our colleagues feel supported, respected and valued, both for who they are as individuals and their unique contributions. Belonging means our people can do their best work and unlock their professional potential.
Inclusive Capability Building
Our education programs are designed to help enable our colleagues, particularly people managers, to be aware and proactive about inclusion and improve their capabilities. All members of our global team are trained on unconscious bias building inclusive behaviours.
Inclusive Partnerships
As a leading global investor, we recognize the importance of building external partnerships as part of our commitment to inclusion and diversity. We look for opportunities to engage with relevant interest and industry groups, and support events that further representation and inclusion in the financial services sector.
Inclusive HR Policies
Our inclusion and diversity strategy is reinforced by relevant policies and programs that support equity across our global team. Beyond offering inclusive benefits like parental leave, we conduct studies on internal pay equity and leverage partnerships with recruiting firms focused on historically underrepresented groups.
Data-Driven Approach
We measure and evaluate our performance to identify opportunities for increasing representation. We continue to take steps to drive meaningful improvement in key performance indicators in under-represented groups including women, members of the LGBTQ+, persons with disabilities, and ethnic and racial minorities. We monitor diversity data and regularly report back to our colleagues on progress.
Grassroots Engagement
Employee resource groups encourage colleagues to champion change through a range of programs and activities, including guest speakers, industry events and social activities. Sponsored by Senior Management Team members, these groups help build understanding and alignment on matters ranging from cultural differences, gender equity, LGBTQ+ inclusion and sustainability. Global participation and allyship is robust and growing.
Our Approach to Accessibility
We strive to treat all individuals in a manner that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence
