EDI Pledge (Our Commitment to Diversity)

Advancing Together

At App4, diversity is in our DNA. We’re driving progress by embracing diversity across our firm and in the companies we work with. We proudly support women and individuals of diverse backgrounds in leadership roles. 

Our Pledge

App4U is dedicated to nurturing a diverse and vibrant ecosystem that empowers our clients and teams. We believe that true industry potential is realized when we celebrate the rich tapestry of diversity, encompassing race, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, ideology, and abilities.

Our Policy

We stand firmly against all forms of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or bullying. As representatives of App4U, we expect all our employees to uphold this within and beyond the workplace. We stand by our Diversity Pledge.

Scope

This policy applies to all current App4U employees (full-time, part-time, and contractors) and those conducting business on our behalf. It extends to all work-related contexts, including off-site activities, business trips, events, and interactions with third parties, from entrepreneurs to vendors.

Harassment

Our commitment extends to maintaining a workplace free from all forms of unlawful harassment, including sexual harassment. We reject behaviours such as offensive words, bullying, unwelcome advances, derogatory remarks, or hostile acts towards any group.

Retaliation

We unequivocally prohibit retaliation against those who raise concerns under this policy. It is both against the law and against our principles.

Complaint Procedure

To report any incident involving a App4U employee or an individual at our events, contact EDI@app4u.ca. Rest assured, reports will be handled confidentially and investigated thoroughly. In case of substantiated harassment, we will promptly take action to eliminate the conduct and impose appropriate discipline.
