Diversity and inclusion

At METRO, we foster an inclusive culture that values, respects and capitalizes on the differences of our employees as well as on a team that represents the great diversity of our clientele and the communities we serve. To do this, METRO offers all of its teams an equitable, diverse and inclusive work environment where everyone sees their skills and differences respected and valued.

Diversity within our teams is an asset and is an integral part of our corporate culture, whether in stores, pharmacies, distribution centres or administrative centres. This is your chance to join a team that will allow you to develop your full potential and show who you really are!

Three axes to diversity

Accelerate the impact and results of ED&I

We work daily to ensure that our policies and programs are inclusive and promote diversity, with the goal of achieving a fair representation of the communities representing our clients at all levels of the company.

Develop a “ready now” diverse talent pool

We take concrete action to develop the skills of team members from diverse backgrounds in order to prepare a diverse and competent next generation of employees, notably by taking charge of high-potential employees through various internal programs such as the mentoring program, LEAD training, internal movements, special projects, etc.

Strengthen the inclusive organizational culture

We offer training and awareness-raising activities for our team members on diversity and inclusion issues so that everyone becomes an ally of diversity.

Remarkable initiatives

Since we believe that every gesture contributes to a great impact, several initiatives have been put forward in recent years to promote diversity and inclusion:


DIVERSITY POLICY

We implemented a company policy related to diversity in 2015 as well as several diversity-related programs. Read METRO's diversity policy.

METRO’s Black People's Committee is a new group that aims to initiate a reflection on the employee experience of METRO employees from this community.
