The key initiatives below highlight Cooper’s efforts to increase overall diversity and inclusion within the organization. We are proud of our improvements over the last few years – and continue to strive toward making our company more diverse.
Women in Governance (WiG)
Historically, women have been underrepresented in the construction sector. The concerning statistics on the number of women in senior management positions or on boards across all industries is what motivated the creation of Women in Governance (WiG).
This non-profit organization was founded in 2010 to support women with their career advancement and help them gain access to senior management and board positions.
Cooper has been working with WiG on achieving the Parity Certification to improve our overall approach to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Cooper Bursary for Women in Construction (CBWC)
The construction industry has traditionally been very male populated. We want to help change that by attracting, retaining, and developing more women in not only the equipment rental industry, but the construction industry as a whole.
To help drive this change, Cooper is proud to be partnering with the Canadian Association of Women in Construction (CAWIC) and providing six bursaries of $1,000 each, to further the education or job skills training of Canadian women in the construction industry.
