Inclusion and Diversity

Tacora values and supports the diversity of the people and communities where we operate. Inclusivity, integrity, and respect are core to our company culture. We are continually advancing our Gender Equity, Inclusion & Diversity Plan (GEIDP).

‍

At Tacora, we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer, committed to supporting women in the trades and mining industry. We have a significant number of women in managerial and supervisory roles. Currently, 27% of our employees are women, which is more than 10% higher than the Canadian industry average of 16%. We are continually striving to increase this percentage, with ambitious goals set for 2025.

‍

Tacora upholds impact and benefit agreements with both Indigenous Peoples and the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Our social commitments include creating direct employment and procurement opportunities. We are dedicated to providing employment, business opportunities, and other benefits to women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, and minority groups, collectively known as designated groups.

‍

Tacora’s GEIDP outlines our commitments to ensure that historically underrepresented groups have full access to employment and business opportunities with us. Through well-communicated and enforced policies, we foster a supportive work environment that offers training, facilitates recruitment, employment, and retention of designated groups in non-traditional roles, and promotes business access. Additionally, we work to prevent and eliminate harassment and sexual discrimination in the workplace.

The Importance of Diversity & Inclusion

We know having a diverse, inclusive, and cultural work environment goes beyond gender and local representation. Diversity is about having an inclusive culture that values and respects people’s differences, as well as supporting one another to achieve great things. This is fundamental to Tacora’s strategy and business transformation aspirations, including our culture change objectives. We are working closely with all our teams to build an increasingly diverse and inclusive business by embedding inclusion into all aspects of leadership and the workforce experience.
