CLP's first Diversity and Inclusion Awareness Week 2024

At CLP, embedding diversity, equity and inclusion mindsets and skillsets in the workplace is important as it helps accelerate culture development, creating an engaging supportive workplace for all. These underpin CLP's Core Values, foster trust, inspire higher innovation and performance and create long-term sustainable growth.

In 2024, CLP hosted its first “D&I Awareness Week” a week of relevant educational activities enabling all employees to learn more about the many aspects of diversity, and offering practical tips on how to create inclusion at work.

Over 4,500 employees across locations participated in curated activities designed to enhance awareness and understanding, and inspire action and change. Key activities included:

• Interactive ‘Marketplace’ – learning booths hosted by 15 NGOs and charities supporting various social causes, including people with disabilities, new immigrants and to minority groups;
• Leaders sessions - 22 internal and external leader speakers shared how to foster inclusion at work, covering topics from disability etiquette to family caregiving; and
• Skill-based workshops – practical tips for harnessing diversity and creating inclusion, on topics such as working with a multi-generational workforce and encouraging diversity of thinking in decision-making.

This first-ever company-wide D&I initiative was a time of curiosity, learning and close engagement. Through these new experiences, employees became more aware of daily diversity and inclusion opportunities and challenges, developed more empathy and new skills, and helped create an even better place to work as #OneCLP.

These efforts set the stage for continued improvements in CLP's culture as we embark on the next chapter of organisational learning.

Embracing a spirit of diversity and inclusion as oneCLP, participants came together to engage, learn and inspire one another in D&I Awareness Week.

Ms. Eileen Burnett-Kant, Chief Human Resources Officer, kicked off the marketplace activities in D&I Awareness Week, inviting employees to engage with NGOs and charities at their dynamic mobile booths showcasing their inspiring DEI visions.
