Diversity & Inclusion
| Please describe your diversity programs and initiatives |
At Fasken, diversity is part of our values. Fasken is committed to being a welcoming and inclusive workplace. We are proud of each and every person who makes up our strong and dynamic workforce. We believe that diversity is a key ingredient in the success of our firm as it helps foster inclusiveness, encourages innovation, and broadens the scope of problem solving.
Fasken, as a leader in the global business community, demonstrates its commitment to diversity not only in the policies and practices that we follow within our firm, but also in our actions within the diverse communities in which we operate. The Firm's leadership, our Chief Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Officer, and our firm-wide Equity, Diversity and Inclusion committee are committed to the development and implementation of a strategy that further solidifies the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion into the Firm's culture, and addresses racism and systemic discrimination. Fasken is committed to addressing and ending anti-Black and other forms of structural racism in the legal profession. As part of that commitment, Fasken has signed the BlackNorth Initiative Law Firm Pledge. In partnership with ICON Talent Partners, we are working to connect diverse candidates with opportunities in corporate law. Our partnership includes a national mentorship and scholarship program for ten incoming 1L Black and Indigenous students. Fasken is also committed to Indigenous reconciliation. Fasken has a Firm-wide reconciliation plan. Fasken's Reconciliation goals focus on the areas of training, recruitment and retention, pro bono, advocacy, procurement, acknowledgement, and philanthropic initiatives. Fasken is committed to maintaining an inclusive firm culture that reflects the diverse communities within which the firm operates; and supporting and promoting diversity so that all lawyers, legal assistants, students and staff know that they are valued and welcomed. Our firm is committed to ensuring a safe, dignified and accessible environment that respects the needs of all visitors.
