Naviga is driven to create and maintain a culture and environment of diversity, equity and inclusion. For that aim, we’ve put together our DE&I Policy that covers our commitment to fostering and preserving a culture where everybody feels welcomed and supported.
Since Naviga is committed to continuous improvement, we will regularly revisit and update this policy to ensure it evolves to reflect regulatory changes and our ongoing efforts.
Pledge
Naviga is dedicated to honoring and celebrating our employees for who they are. Our people are our greatest capital, and we are proud of our employees’ differences. We respect differences in age, color, disability, ethnicity, gender identity, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and other characteristics that make our employees unique. We also value diversity in personality, life and work experience, skills, and ways of thinking.
Our aim is to ensure that our business policies, procedures, and behaviors promote diversity, equity and inclusion and create an environment that value individual differences.
Definitions
Diversity is the collective mixture of unique characteristics, values, beliefs, experiences, backgrounds, preferences, and behaviors we each possess.
Equity is recognizing each person has different circumstances and allocating the resources and opportunities needed to ensure all reach equal outcomes. (Whereas equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities.)
Inclusion is an environment in which all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully and have equal access and opportunity.
