The value each Associate brings to our organization every day enriches the culture and fabric of who we are. Our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and reconciliation is part of our business strategy and championed by all of our people. We come together over the year to share our experiences, disrupt, innovate and aspire to be change makers across the retail landscape. Our inclusion and reconciliation roadmap is just beginning, and we remain committed to the transformational journey ahead.

DVP, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The Bay
Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) are woven throughout The Bay and are fundamental to our strategy and vision as a leader in the retail and fashion landscape. Across Canada, we actively nurture a one team work culture that values creativity, innovation and the diverse voices and experiences each of our Associates bring, everyday, while reflecting on our opportunities to make a positive social impact as we reflect on our past and take actionable steps towards reconciliation and inclusion.
All of our Associates help advance our shared values of respect and belonging, connecting our people to each other, our customers and our communities as allies. Across our organization, we have identified goals to increase the diversity of our senior leadership teams across all levels, while fostering a culture that provides equal access and opportunity for all our Associates to learn, grow, thrive and achieve their very best.
In 2020, we launched HBC Pride, our employee resource group that actively advances the values of our LGBTQ2IA+ community by promoting values of diversity, inclusiveness, intersectionality and education. In addition to ongoing LGBTQ2IA+ learning opportunities, we actively ensure our policies, compensation and benefits offerings remain inclusive of all people, while the Hudson's Bay Foundation continues to support marginalized communities across Canada through its Hudson's Bay Charter for Change initiative.
