The Declaration for diversity and inclusion

Declaration for diversity and inclusion

Preamble

In 1987, wishing to reflect the diverse customer base that it serves, the Société de transport de Montréal implemented an equal employment opportunity plan. Since then, it has launched numerous initiatives that have lead to its recognition as a leader in this field.

The STM has now taken another important step by signing this Declaration as a means of valuing diversity and inclusion.

Diversity refers to the presence of a variety of human characteristics and attributes within a group or organization. 1

Inclusion refers to a characteristic of the organizational culture that is put into practice through its commitment to diversity in all of its organizational processes. 1
