Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DE&I), as a value and culture advocacy, has shown strong vitality in the company's culture and workplace life in recent years.

Diversity refers to the range of interpersonal differences that exist in the workplace. Ideally, it should reflect the community around you. It goes far beyond race and gender and encompasses a wide range of aspects, including:

  • Race
  • Age and life stage
  • Sexual orientation
  • Religion

Equity includes listening and understanding, providing people with everything they need to enjoy a full, healthy life. Equity focuses on ensuring that all employees are treated fairly and have access to opportunities and resources. It recognises that individuals have different starting points and barriers to success and seeks to address these differences by providing support and accommodation, as well as removing systemic barriers.

Inclusion aims to create a sense of belonging. An inclusive culture makes employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives. It involves fostering a collaborative and supportive environment in which diversity is welcomed and respected. It helps individuals thrive and succeed, creating a more efficient, innovative, and sustainable workplace.
