Diversity and inclusion
#EquansBeYourself
What does it mean to totally be yourself at work?
At Equans Switzerland, we believe that promoting diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our work and workforce is a key strength of our company. Our aim is to create an environment in which everyone feels valued and respected.
To achieve this, we have developed internal policies and initiatives to ensure that all employees feel like valued and respected members of the Equans family, regardless of their cultural background, identity or abilities.
Tackling the energy transition requires the pooling of all skills and expertise to create a greener and more sustainable future.
A sustainable future is inclusive and must provide conditions worth living in for all. That’s why Equans Switzerland is committed to a culture in which all people can realise their full potential.
#EquansBeYourself is a campaign designed to transform Equans Switzerland into a business with a workplace culture that promotes diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities for all. It recognises our employees and their success, while also offering an authentic view of the challenges and opportunities that arise from creating a positive workplace culture in our industry. We spoke to some of the Equans employees, who describe their experiences in their own words. Discover their stories, in which it becomes clear that they bring much more than just their job title into their working lives.
Diversity and inclusion mean belonging – we want to promote this as part of our corporate culture. At Equans Switzerland, we are committed to ensuring that all employees are treated fairly and that everyone can express themselves freely at work.
