EMPOWERING WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE
At RPIA, we remain committed to fostering a workplace where diverse perspectives lead to better decision-making, stronger business outcomes, and a more innovative culture. We recognize that building an inclusive, high-performing culture is key to attracting and developing top talent while delivering value to our stakeholders. Over the past year, we have strengthened our leadership accountability, refined our talent development strategies, and enhanced workplace initiatives to ensure our organization continues to evolve. Our leadership team is actively engaged in embedding inclusive practices across hiring, career development, and governance to create an environment where every employee can thrive. We understand that meaningful workplace progress extends beyond representation and requires a focus on advancement, opportunity, and impact. As part of this commitment, we continue to align with industry-leading best practices to build a more equitable and sustainable talent pipeline.
Additionally, we launched the ACE Scholarship for Women in Finance at the Schulich School of Business, reinforcing our commitment to supporting the next generation of female leaders in the industry. This initiative complements our broader focus on expanding recruitment partnerships and driving sustainable progress in gender representation at all levels of the firm.

This year, we reinforced our commitment to workplace equity and leadership accountability, ensuring that women have greater access to career growth and senior decision-making roles. Under the leadership of our Chief People Officer, Sara D’Elia, we refined succession planning frameworks, introduced clearer career pathways, and leveraged data-driven insights to track representation and advancement. These efforts have helped create more structured opportunities for women progressing into leadership positions. Our progress is reflected in key representation improvements as women now hold 36% of executive roles and 50% of management committee positions, increasing their presence in leadership and governance. At the associate level, representation remains strong at 51%, ensuring a solid talent pipeline for future leadership growth.
