Priorities

Workplace safety

As the safety of our people is of the utmost importance to us, we continuously improve our work by building a culture of safety for our people, our customers and our suppliers where all can feel empowered to do their part.

Diversity & Inclusion

We are continuing our work to advance equitable representation, opportunities and pay across the organization. We want all team members to work in an environment where they feel respected and able to develop their full potential.

Improving wellbeing in the workplace

We are continuously improving our programs, procedures, training, and facilities to ensure a safe and healthy working environment. This includes strategic robbery prevention programs, anti-harassment programs and enhanced training for team members.

Ambition 2030

Alex Miller

Chief Operating Officer & Executive Sponsor for Workplace Safety

Ensuring that our team members and customers feel safe and secure in our stores underpins our license to operate and our commitment to the communities where we live and work. Over the past year, we prioritized workplace safety training and strengthened our global robbery prevention program to help protect our team members, our customers, and the partners who work with us.

Increased commitment to workplace safety as key priority Increased commitment to workplace safety as key priority

We are continuously improving our programs, procedures, training, and facilities to ensure a safe and healthy working environment. This includes strategic robbery prevention programs, anti-harassment programs and enhanced training for team members.

Reducing work related incidents Reducing work related incidents

We launched Circle K Safety Star over the summer in both the U.S. and Canada. This interactive mobile app-based training provides game play opportunities for store team members to learn more about these types of injuries as well as why we care that they work in a safe manner and the consequences of poor safety practices.

Creating conditions for an inclusive organization

We strive to be an inclusive and attractive employer, providing our people with a work environment where they feel safe, respected, and able to develop their full potential. We’re working to advance equitable representation, opportunities and pay across the organization as our people continue growing with us in their careers. 

Ambition 2030

Ina Strand

Chief People Officer and Leader of Couche-Tard’s sustainability efforts

Change doesn’t happen overnight, but these initiatives are substantial elements in our development toward an environment where our minority team members can grow. We want to create a pipeline for developing diverse talent as we work toward our D&I ambition of equity in opportunities, representation and pay. And we will continue to research further partnerships and growth opportunities for all our underrepresented groups. I have no doubt that together, as ONE TEAM, we are becoming a better, more inclusive company.

Our Business Resource Groups (BRGs) Our Business Resource Groups (BRGs)

“As part of our journey toward making our company a more diverse and inclusive organization, over the last two and half years we have formed several new employee-led Business Resource Groups (BRGs) including ones for race, LGBTQ+, disabilities, ethnic diversity, and most recently, military veterans and family members. All BRGs have members of the leadership team as Executive Sponsors who provide thought leadership, guidance and support.
These groups play an important role in creating a safe, accessible, and rewarding workplace and showcasing the unique contributions of our team members.”

Talent & Leadership Development Talent & Leadership Development

“The development of our people is always a key priority. Creating a culture that encourages team members’ development and embraces a warm, safe environment for people to grow with us is a continuous focus. Across our global network, we are persistently enhancing our onboarding and training programs, always with our values at the core.”
