OUR DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION JOURNEY RPIA is dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DE&I”) in our workplace, and we took actions to formalize this in 2021. We strive to maintain an environment where no one is denied opportunities for reasons unrelated to their performance. We celebrate and welcome the unique attributes of all employees, stakeholders, and external personnel in support of our mission to promote diversity and inclusion across our organization. Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace Policy was published last year to demonstrate our commitment to promoting an atmosphere where respect for each person’s dignity, ideas, and beliefs is consistently upheld. The policy summarizes the guidelines we expect each employee to follow with respect to cultural competence, hiring and recruitment, and succession planning. It also outlines the various responsibilities, at the individual, group, and committee levels to ensure that the policy is respected and that our DE&I goals are met. Our firm is committed to taking a consultative, thoughtful, and impactful approach in evolving this policy over time. RPIA’s hiring practices continue to evolve and adapt to the growing demands of the business and the increasingly diverse landscape of talent within the industry. We are proud partners of organizations such as Women in Capital Markets (WCM), 100Women in Finance (100WF), and the Canadian Association of Urban Financial Professionals (CAUFP) to ensure that our job opportunities are reaching members of historically marginalized and underrepresented groups. We believe in the power of diversity of thought, and we aspire to have an inclusive workplace that mirrors the fabric of our communities. In 2021, we conducted our first employee demographics survey to determine the diversity that exists across our organization and identify opportunities to further promote inclusion, equity, and engagement within the organization. Though we recognize there is more work to be done to increase representation of marginalized groups, we take pride in the progress we have made to date.
