  Diversity Policy: Statement & Objectives
   
  Diversity strengthens EDC's organizational performance by allowing it to tap into a wide range of skills, knowledge, insights and experience in order to help serve its domestic and global customer base. Diversity also allows EDC to compete as an "employer of choice" for the best employees from all backgrounds.

  • Maintaining equality of opportunity - based on job-relevant criteria and individual qualifications, experience and performance - in a workplace free of employment barriers; and
  • Providing reasonable accommodation

  • Assist EDC in living its corporate Values, which include the statement "Our diversity enriches us all."
