Element’s commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion began in the early ‘90s with the creation of Diversity Employee networks and a Supplier Diversity program. The supplier diversity journey initially focused on developing diverse vehicle acquisition partners as well as a process to identify and verify maintenance and accident diverse vendors.
The journey has continued as Element developed additional diverse supplier relationships in other service categories over time and will continue as Element identifies diverse suppliers capable of meeting our client’s needs.
Our shared goal must be a company where all are respected and have the opportunity to thrive, regardless of the colour of their skin, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender, veteran status, ability or disability. In doing so, we can do our part to help foster needed change more broadly in society.

NMDSC, CAMSC, and WBENC will independently conduct annual data scrubs of our suppliers and audit, if they are certified, providing Element and our clients with the trusted insights into the make-up of our supplier base and where opportunities exist to improve minority spend.
