Boralex achieves Silver Parity Certification from Women in Governance!

Boralex firmly believes in a work environment where everyone can reach their full potential. That's why in 2024, we once again strengthened our efforts in equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) to contribute to a stimulating talent experience, rich career paths, and sustainable growth.

How to confirm the strength of Boralex's EDI efforts?

To identify actions to prioritize and highlight our progress, Boralex undertook an EDI diagnosis with a recognized external partner: the Parity Certification from Women in Governance (WiG).

WiG's mission: to support women in their career advancement, leadership development, and ambitions to sit on boards of directors, as well as to help companies achieve EDI in their workplace.

After completing all the necessary steps in the certification process, Boralex was awarded with the Silver Parity Certified in recent days!

At Boralex, we firmly believe in the importance of integrating the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) into all our business practices.
Having Silver Parity Certification from Women in Governance is another step forward in our vision to promote EDI to drive sustainable growth, better manage risks, and broaden our horizons.
EDI will also help us stimulate creativity and strengthen cohesion within our team, thereby generating positive impacts both on the well-being of our employees and in achieving our business objectives.
