We’re proud to be making it public: taking our commitment to safe, diverse and inclusive workplaces and putting people first and putting our name on it by signing the Builder’s Code pledge.

It takes the commitments we live every day, and turns them into measurable actions ourselves, and others in our online and offline communities, can take on and live out, day by day.

Things like:

We hire based on skill and experience and compensate all employees at fair market value regardless of gender, race, religion, or ethnicity.

We identify and remove barriers to training and career development; creating equitable opportunities for all employees.

We ensure the health, safety and well-being of everyone on the Worksite by providing a work environment free from harassment, hazing, and bullying.

We promote education, awareness and training on the Acceptable Worksite behaviour that positively impacts our community, our company, and our employees.

We pledge to continuously back up our commitment through our actions, without compromise.

As a team, we’re proud to live this pledge every day. And, to join a community of businesses and teams doing the same. We’re making progress, and have a ways to go. Thank you to the Builder’s Code community for helping us stand more publicly in our commitment to safe and inclusive workplaces!

While every day is mental health day, standing up and speaking out about the spectrum of experiences that make up matters here on Bell Let’s Talk day. In an industry that’s historically encouraged keeping things in, we’re taking a different approach: encouraging the ETRO crew to share how they’re really doing.

That’s why we created the ETRO Mental Health Committee; a team dedicated to empowering our people to tend to their mental health with the same attention they place on their physical well being. Their aim is to end the stigma around mental health and expand the understanding and awareness of the spectrum of mental illness and mental wellbeing that exists across our team, across our country, and around the world.

We’re in this together - and know that by rallying around one another, we’re exponentially stronger.
