Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I)

Fostering an inclusive environment 

We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where the experiences, backgrounds and perspectives of our employees are valued and respected. Our intent is to reflect the diverse communities in which we operate, empowering employees to thrive and reach their full potential.

Empowering employees

Our DE&I vision is to build and promote a diverse workforce committed to sustaining an equitable and inclusive environment, and empowering all employees to reach their full potential, live our core values and feel a sense of belonging.

Global DE&I Council

Our Global DE&I Council brings together senior leaders from different backgrounds, locations and teams to guide action on our DE&I strategy and advocate inclusive practices and leadership. 

Our focus

This is an image of people walking

Inclusive leadership

To embed behaviours and language that reflect our core values and support a one ALS culture. Embracing an inclusive culture across the organization enables us to create a greater sense of belonging for all. Colleagues participate in unconscious bias training upon joining ALS, and inclusive leadership principles are embedded in our leadership programs. We are in the process of developing Inclusive Leadership training for all ALS team members, which will be launched in 2024.

Gender

To achieve greater gender equality for all and increase the representation of women in leadership. RISE is our Global Gender Employee Resource Group (ERG), which has our Executive General Manager (Commodity Inspection) and General Manager (APAC Life Sciences) as their Executive Sponsors. Our Global RISE ERG aims to advance gender equality, celebrate diversity days of significance, and actively advocate for greater diversity, equity and inclusion at ALS.

Disability

To enhance awareness and support for colleagues living with disability (both physical and hidden). Our disability inclusion efforts include promoting awareness and support for mental health and psychosocial wellbeing. We are currently exploring external disability memberships options to support with our disability inclusion strategies and initiatives.
