Diversity:

We believe that, by working together, diverse people with different experiences conceive some of the most innovative ideas. Diversity hones our competitive edge and contributes to our company's strength. Reference Technologies actively promotes inclusiveness across the workplace, creating an environment where each individual has an equal opportunity to achieve his or her full potential, where human differences are valued, and where employees feel respected and empowered in the decisions that affect them. A diverse and skilled workforce is essential to our success.

Health and Safety:

In the company's General Business Principles, we commit to providing a healthy and safe work environment for all our employees. To that end, our global health and safety vision and policy reflect a proactive and preventative behavior-based approach that integrates health and safety into our culture, values and the way we do business. We recognize that in order to protect our staff and other stakeholders from injury, illness and other loss, we must value health and safety as much as our other core values and make it an integral part of the solutions we provide to our clients.
