Our Impact
The Canada Diversity Council was launched in 2006 with a mandate to ensure Intact was fostering an inclusive workplace that would appeal to a broad and diverse talent pool.
We have seen positive progress over the years, with highlights including:
- Women in VP+ roles going from 29% in 2012 to 39% at the end of 2023.
- Black People and People of Colour in VP+ roles is now at 15%.
- Received the Women in Governance Platinum level certification for the fourth consecutive year in 2025. This distinction is awarded to only 10 organizations in Canada that have achieved gender balance in leadership roles and demonstrate exemplary support for the advancement of women.
- In our overall employee population, we went from 14% BPOC representation in 2012 to 29.9% at the end of 2023.
In 2023, some examples of how we advanced include:
- A partnership with Black Professionals in Tech Network and participation in their conference known as BFUTR to attract and hire diverse talent.
- Delivered training to the talent acquisition team to minimize bias in the recruitment process.
- 56% of our students hired in 2023 were BPOC, of which 7% were Black students, which was two points above our commitment on the Black North initiative.
- Launched “4 Seasons of Reconciliation” mandatory training in partnership with First Nations University as part of our reconciliation commitments and currently sit at 94.5% completion. This program provides foundational knowledge on reconciliation and promotes a renewed relationship between Indigenous Peoples and Canadians through transformative learning about Truth and Reconciliation.
- Achieved 90% completion of our Inclusive Leaders training program.
We continue the progress towards meeting our longer-term diversity goals for 2025. This includes achieving gender parity in leadership and increasing diversity across the organization to align with labour market availability by 2025.
