Key concepts

- Equity, referring to the effort to ensure that all people receive fair treatment that allows them to access the same opportunities, taking into account their differences and circumstances.
- Inclusion, a concept relating to the integration and active participation of all employees, thereby valuing the individual characteristics of all people so that within the organisation they feel recognised, valued, respected and free to be who they are in their working context.
