Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy

Last Updated: November 21st, 2025

Purpose

Great corporate culture is built on trust, which is why our first value, and the one that informs all the others, is Trust the Team. In every interaction, whether it’s with a team member, People Leader, or Thinker – trust your colleagues to do what they need to do. No second-guessing everyone else on the team! ThinkOn is committed to fostering a work environment that is built on trust, inclusive, equitable, and diverse – one where we celebrate differences, where each Thinker is treated fairly, respected for their differences, and has an equal opportunity to reach their full potential, contributing to the success of ThinkOn as a whole. By implementing and actively managing diversity, equity, and inclusion at ThinkOn, we can proactively ensure that women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and members of visible minorities are equitably represented within the organization. This policy applies to all current Thinkers, full-time, part-time, and contractors, and extends to our treatment of partners, customers, vendors and supplies, visitors, and job applicants.

Definitions

For this policy and for interpretation by our Thinkers: Diversity refers to any and all differences between and among people. Some examples of the differences that make Thinkers unique include age, race, colour, national or ethnic origin, family or marital status, sex, gender identity and gender expression, sexual orientation, language, physical and mental ability, genetic characteristics, political affiliation, religion, and socio-economic status, as well as any other protected ground in the various locations where ThinkOn operates. Equity means ensuring fair access to all employment opportunities, regardless of diversity or difference. Inclusion is the process through which ThinkOn builds community and where Thinkers and ThinkOn experience the benefits of diversity. Inclusion provides everyone with the right to participate in the workplace.

Commitments

Company Culture

At ThinkOn, our aim is to create an environment where individual differences and contributions of all Thinkers are recognized and valued. ThinkOn reviews and updates the Workplace Violence, Harassment, and Sexual Harassment Policy on an annual basis, requiring Thinkers to read and acknowledge these policies and any changes as part of our Annual Handbook review. ThinkOn will provide reasonable accommodations to support employees with disabilities, as well as providing flexibility in working arrangements where needed. Employment ThinkOn is committed to providing equal employment opportunities for all. Individuals are to be treated fairly and without discrimination based on any factors that make our Thinkers or job applicants unique. ThinkOn uses gender neutral language in job descriptions and job postings alongside our regular review of hiring practices to remove bias and promote diverse representation.

ThinkOn includes the following statement on every job posting and uses a similar message when communicating with applicants:

“ThinkOn is committed to a workforce that is reflective of diverse populations. We welcome applicants from qualified individuals from all backgrounds. In accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (“AODA”) and accessibility standards across Canada, ThinkOn provides accommodations to job applications with disabilities throughout the recruitment process. If you require accommodations, please let us know and we will work with you to meet your needs. We are committed to a selection process and work environment that is inclusive, equitable, accessible, and adheres to our corporate values.”

Training

ThinkOn is committed to offering Diversity and Inclusion training to all Thinkers aimed at developing more inclusive behaviours in the workplace. Currently, Thinkers must complete AODA and Discrimination and Harassment training as part of their onboarding with ThinkOn. A mandatory Diversity and Inclusion training course will be rolled out to all Thinkers in 2026 and will then be added to the New Hire training requirements. Additional Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training, as well as Bias Training, will be made available to all Thinkers in ADP in 2026 as part of our optional training programs.

Future Projects and Commitments

ThinkOn is committed to maintaining equitable and competitive compensation practices. As part of this commitment, compensation data is reviewed regularly to identify and address any pay disparities across all demographics. These reviews are conducted to ensure that pay decision remain fair, consistent, and based on several factors including, but not limited to, role scope, experience, performance, and market benchmark data. Where inequalities are identified, corrective action will be taken.

Reporting/Complaints

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion can be sensitive topics, but at ThinkOn, we always want fairness to be top of mind when making hiring decisions, in the way we work, and how we communicate with each other every day. We expect all Thinkers to be open-minded, respecting each other and embracing the qualities that make each Thinker unique. It is the responsibility of all team members to play an active role in the success of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policy.

Should you witness any breach of this policy, please advise the ThinkOn People and Culture Team at ThinkOnHR@thinkon.com immediately. In accordance with the reporting practices outlined in the Workplace Violence, Harassment, and Sexual Harassment Policy, there shall be no retaliation against a person who uses this policy in good faith.

Review and Revision

This policy will be reviewed as it is deemed appropriate, but no less frequently than every 12 months.
