PEOPLE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION We are proud of our journey and continue to take actions and make important progress to create an even more diverse and inclusive workforce. In our Resource Industries segment, for example, a partnership with our Women’s Initiative Network employee resource group generated the ability to achieve 100% diverse interview panels, which increased the percentage of diverse candidates hired by Resource Industries.
