Introduction
At Initiative LTD, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every individual is treated with respect and dignity.
Racism, in any form, is not tolerated within our community, and we are dedicated to taking proactive measures to ensure that all members of our community are free from racial discrimination and bias.
This Anti-Racism Policy outlines our stance against racism and the steps we are taking to uphold these principles.
Our Commitment
Zero Tolerance For Racism
We have a zero-tolerance policy towards racism. This means that any form of racial discrimination, harassment, or bias—whether overt or subtle—is strictly prohibited. We believe that every individual has the right to work, learn, and interact in an environment that is free from prejudice and discrimination.
Continuous Improvement
We recognize that the fight against racism is an ongoing process. As such, we are committed to continuously reviewing and updating our policies, procedures, and practices to ensure they reflect our anti-racism stance.
