At Teck, we know that our diversity—the unique perspectives and qualities we individually and collectively bring to work each day—contributes to building a stronger workforce and makes us a better company. Our focus on inclusion and diversity is rooted in our company’s core values of inclusion and respect.
Employee inclusion networks serve as a systematic approach to addressing systemic inequities and support respect, inclusion, and belonging at Teck. They bring a group of people together to advance a sense of community and belonging among employees who share a common aspect identity and create a space to identify challenges and amplify solutions. Inclusion networks typically involve a balance of social activities and support aspects. These groups help guide policy and engagement to foster a sense of belonging at Teck. Our global Women’s Network seeks to connect, include and advance women through engaging workshops and meaningful dialogue. Our Red Dog and Highland Valley Copper operations also have Women in Mining groups, which advocate and act to improve working conditions for women.

The group has undertaken several initiatives, including organizing talks that emphasize respect, empathy and courageous leadership. PRIZMA has also been actively involved in training workshops aimed at raising awareness and building skills related to diversity and inclusion.
