Diversity is about the dimensions that make us different and unique. Inclusion is the practice of ensuring that people from all backgrounds are given equal access to opportunities and resources.
We all have a diversity story to tell and that’s why at Sonepar, we believe in creating a work environment where everyone can feel safe, use their voice, and know that they belong. Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) is a central focus of our global, strategic Impact plan.
Our D&I strategy has been developed with guidance from dedicated experts, sponsorship from our Executive Committee, and associates.
The resulting Roadmap is a key vehicle for raising awareness among associates and managers, as well as consolidating and communicating D&I initiatives across all countries where we operate.
Our ambition, which encompasses our associates, our customers, and our suppliers, is to:
