EDI (equity, diversity & inclusion) initiatives

At SIG, we’re committed to ensuring our people from all backgrounds thrive in an environment that reflects the cultures of the communities in which we operate.
We increased internal communication and employee engagement activities to support a workplace where our employees feel empowered to work for us. Our 2023 employee survey highlighted good progress so far:

n 2023, we launched a new employee-led group with people from diverse backgrounds to discuss how we can make SIG a place where people feel comfortable to be their authentic selves. The DEI Forum meet monthly to develop timetables of action and communications that encourage diversity,
equality, and inclusion in the workplace.

We have employee resource groups in place including the RISE group for women to discuss career advancement opportunities.
