Unilever strives to be a beacon of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging and recognizes the best way to achieve this goal is to create local DEI&B strategies that are relevant in our individual markets but ladder up to our global ambitions. In Canada, our mission is to create a fair and equitable workplace that fosters a culture of inclusion and belonging that leverages the power of difference. Our goal is to create a culture of belonging, where our people can be their best, authentic selves.
Our strategy is rooted in three key pillars:
Workplace: Fosters a culture where every
employee feels valued, respected and safe.
Workforce: Build a diverse workforce that
reflects our consumers to drive innovation and increase market
growth.
Marketplace: Embed equity and inclusion
into our business strategies creating sustainable value for our
customers and the communities we serve.
Our local strategy is aligned with our Global roadmap and goals.

In the past year we rolled out our Indigenous Strategy in partnership with Indigenous Works. The heart of this multiyear roadmap is on Reconciliation.
Our key priorities are:
- Attracting, developing and retaining Indigenous talent
- Creating and inclusive and equitable Workplace
- Building cultural awareness amongst all levels of the organization.
"In the spirit of truth and reconciliation, we respectfully acknowledge that the land on which Unilever Canada is headquartered is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Huron-Wendat, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation People, and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples."
Since 2016, an integral part of people led initiatives within our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging agenda at Unilever Canada has been the growth and progression of Business Resource Groups (BRGs).
These employee-led groups foster a diverse and inclusive workplace that is aligned with the organization's mission and goals.
