Canada Nickel Company Ltd. (TSXV: CNC) (OTCQX: CNIKF) pledges to increase equal representation and pay equity for women in the Canadian mining industry by joining the 'Equal by 30' campaign.
Canada Nickel Company Ltd. (TSXV: CNC) (OTCQX: CNIKF) will join the federal government's Equal by 30 campaign to advance and improve career opportunities for women in the Canadian mining industry before the next decade. The campaign is a commitment by public and private sector organizations around the world to work towards equal pay, equal leadership, and equal opportunities for women, and other marginalized groups, in the clean energy transition sector by 2030.
It is a campaign under the International Energy Agency (IEA) – which works to accelerate gender equality and diversity in clean energy transitions and close the gender gap by 2030. \Currently, women only make up 16% of the mining industry. Our team at Canada Nickel wants to change this,' said, Canada Nickel CEO. 'Our board is 33% women and 32% of our workforce is women, our hope is that as our workforce grows we can continue to strive towards 50% and ensure equitable principles are within both our ethos and policies to guarantee this sustainability.' From the Canadian Mining Workplace Profile, the representation of women in the Canadian mining workforce remains low at approximately 16 per cent, compared to 48 per cent across all other industries. As part of its specific commitments related to the campaign to improve best practices in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), Canada Nickel is establishing relationships with local non-profits and stakeholder groups, such as 'Women in Mining', amongst others. Over the next 12-36 months, Canada Nickel will design and implement a phased DEI program, with the goal of increasing gender equality knowledge across its workforce. To ensure fair compensation for women, it will also conduct an annual external market analysis with industry experts to ensure compensation is in alignment with industry best practices
