• Value diversity of perspectives including differences in personality, life and work experience, skills, and ways of thinking and working.

Sequana in practice:

For us, Diversity is all about recognising and valuing the contribution of people with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. It is the collective mixture of similarities and differences that includes individual characteristics, values, beliefs, preferences, and behaviours. We honour and value diversity because it strengthens the company and fosters innovation and creativity, which in turn, improves performance. A diverse work environment enhances inclusivity and the feeling of belonging of our staff.

Equity reflects our commitment to supporting our people and providing consistent and systematic, fair and impartial treatment for all employees. We commit to challenging biases that limit equity within Sequana and ensuring that all employees are educated about the resources available to them in support of their goals and success.

Inclusion is the achievement of a work environment in which all of our people’s differences are welcomed and respected, where they are treated fairly with equal access to opportunities and resources, so they can contribute fully to the organisation’s success.

Belonging relates to our employees’ sense that they are welcomed, accepted, valued, and empowered for their diverse backgrounds and experiences. An inclusive work environment helps foster a strong sense of belonging.
