COWI diversity policy

OUR APPROACH

Diversity is fundamental to COWI, inclusion is key.

• It is part of our values, and we believe that developing a diverse workforce and inclusive culture is simply the right thing to do.
  
  
• A truly diverse workforce will positively impact our people and create value for our customers and our business performance.

COWI’s values are the compass for our behavior.

• We cultivate diversity and maintain that we have (at least) one thing in common: COWI’s values as the compass for our behavior at work.
  
  
• We all have personal and individual beliefs and values too, but at work we commit to sharing and living by the same set of values – COWI’s values.

WE COMMIT TO

• Ensuring that all leaders act as role models for inclusive leadership by cultivating an open and inclusive culture where diverse perspectives and thoughts are seen as a strength to both people, teams and COWI’s business
