We call this our diversity strategy, but we think of it as our competitive edge.

Our approach involves discovering and welcoming talent from the widest spectrum imaginable. We support a corporate culture that thrives on a broad, inclusive, and innovative range of viewpoints. Envisioning a workspace brimming with diverse perspectives aligns perfectly with our vision of effective business conduct. Frankly, we struggle to imagine any argument against this position.

"From every perspective – business, ethical, moral, cultural – it’s simply the right thing to do." Scott Rook, President, CEO

Our goal is to ensure that all those we engage with – whether staff, client, collaborator, supplier, investor, or potential new team member exploring the possibility of joining us – understand our diversity policy welcomes individuals of any background, location, role, or purpose, and is genuine reflection of our inviting and inclusive spirit.

We have important criteria for hiring and team building at Chemtrade. Experience, training, expertise, leadership, and problem-solving skills are all big parts of our vetting process. But it is also our policy to be multi and not mono. So, yes… welcome!

Sustaining an environment that recognizes the importance of Diversity and Inclusion, propels us towards achieving our vision of Creating Value through Responsible Chemistry. We believe:

  • Unique perspectives and experiences are vital to our growth and success.
  • Diversity of thought and the open sharing of ideas helps ensure we cultivate high-performing teams.
