Kruger Receives Silver Level Parity Certification from Women in Governance

Kruger Products L.P. received Silver Level Parity Certification from Women in Governance (WiG) for the company's work in developing and offering workplace policies and programs that support career growth and leadership opportunities for women in business

Kruger Products was among 30 recipients from across Canada that received their certifications at the Women in Governance annual Parity Certification Gala in late September in Montréal.

"We are proud to be recognized for our work to promote and support women at all levels of our organization through a variety of opportunities and services," says Mina Fior, Kruger Products' senior vice president, human resources. "We strive to create an environment that empowers women across our organization to be successful."

The WiG Parity Certification recognizes organizations that have achieved results by articulating a commitment to gender parity in the workplace, integrating it to the ecosystem of the organization and implementing mechanisms to achieve that commitment and sustain it over time. Each submission was thoroughly evaluated by Women in Governance, with support from McKinsey&Company, Mercer, and Willis Towers Watson.
