We want to create a safe environment where our employees feel comfortable, working together collaboratively and effectively without judgement. We want to encourage our employees to reach their full potential whilst working as a team and empower and support them to grow in their own way.
As members of IBEC, we embrace the ethos that inclusion and belonging will give our business insights into our customers markets and help us to be more responsive to our increasingly heterogenous customers.
We look to celebrate difference and build on Irish Cements long standing relationships with the community and our customers since 1938.
Our mission
We understand that achieving inclusion and belonging is not always easy, it can cause us to sometimes be uncomfortable, requiring us to review how things have been done in the past and to make the necessary changes to achieve our vision for the future.
We will encourage frequent employee feedback through employee health surveys and employee resource groups. We will hold each other and our leadership accountable for implementing and seeing through our inclusion and diversity vision.
We understand the importance of inclusion and belonging to our business, it is more than just a tick box exercise for us, we know it is an important journey, but one that we are committed to upholding as people are our priority.
