Equality, Diversity & Inclusion at Holcim
We pride ourselves on being people first
We have more than 4000 colleagues that we work alongside who make us who we are today, and every one of us works in the knowledge that our business strives to make sure we have a support network to help us be comfortable in who we are when we are on site, in the office or at home.
Equality, diversity and inclusion is a key part of our employee experience, and our approach to having a diverse place to work allows us to celebrate differences. One of the many ways we do this is through our ED&I teams who aim to create inclusive working environments for all of our people to thrive. These teams are supported by our seven affinity networks who you can find out more about below.
Our affinity networks
High Viz LGBTQ+ Network
This network is open to members of the LGBTQ+ community and our allies. Our goal is to create a progressive and inclusive workplace where everyone feels comfortable being their authentic selves. We've built a strong community of allies and ambassadors, and we're committed to making our business a safe and welcoming environment for all LGBTQ+ employees.
All Ages Network
Our All Ages Network helps Holcim succeed by sharing their experience and advocating for the needs of all generations. The network works to raise awareness of age diversity, supports career transitions, and promotes policies that ensure Holcim is a great workplace for everyone.
Emergency Services, Veterans and Families Network
This network brings together current or former emergency service members, veterans, and military reservists, as well as their friends and families. We focus on supporting each other's wellbeing, volunteering in the wider community, and helping our Talent Acquisition team recruit members of the armed forces.
Abilities Network
The Abilities Network was formed to raise awareness and remove barriers related to disability, neurodiversity, and other impairments. We welcome those with and without impairments, as well as carers and allies. Our goal is to create a supportive and inclusive workplace where all colleagues can reach their full potential.
Women Empowered Network
The Women Empowered Network drives positive change, creating an environment where women can succeed and achieve their full potential. We provide a forum to share experiences and raise awareness of challenges women face. The network also champions role models and creates networking opportunities, working to ensure Holcim is a place where women can thrive.
Menopause Network
Our newest affinity network, the Menopause Network, works closely with the Women Empowered Network. We aim to support and educate colleagues on how menopause can affect a person’s work and personal life. We're creating a helpful and understanding environment for those experiencing it and their team members.
Diverse Communities Network
The Diverse Communities Network brings together colleagues to raise awareness of challenges faced by different ethnic communities and nationalities. We work to address barriers related to racial equality, challenge unconscious bias, and celebrate the diverse backgrounds of all our employees. This helps ensure everyone can be their authentic self.
