At Lhoist, inclusion is part of who we are.

We believe that creating an inclusive workplace is simply the right thing to do. Rooted in respect, inclusion helps create a culture where every employee is valued and supported. Our ambition is clear: to build a Lhoist for All, a workplace where everyone - whatever their background or identity feels included, respected, and empowered to contribute. 

Everyone can bring their whole self to work 

We welcome authenticity and encourage our people to share their unique experiences and perspectives. Our strength lies in the richness of our teams and in the inclusion that ensures every voice is heard. 

 

Everyone has equal opportunity to grow 

Equality guides on how we work. We are committed to fair treatment and equal access to opportunities for all employees, embedding this commitment into our policies, practices, and everyday behaviors. 

 

Inclusion is embedded in everything we do 

Inclusion shapes our culture and influences every part of our operations. We focus on the 3 Gs of Inclusion: Generations, Gender, and Geographics.

Our three pillars of inclusion

Generations 

We value the insights, experience, and energy that come from different generations, the deep knowledge of long-standing colleagues, and the fresh perspectives of early-career talent. Together, they fuel learning, collaboration, and innovation across our teams.  

 

Gender 

We promote fairness and equality for all genders, creating an environment where everyone can achieve their full potential. 

 

Geographics 

We embrace regional, cultural, and ethnic differences. By strengthening geographical inclusion, we create a workplace that reflects the global communities we serve and build meaningful connections across regions.  

Leadership commitment

Our Group Executive Committee fully supports this vision and champions inclusive leadership across the organization. A dedicated global people culture team ensures that respect and inclusion are embedded in our strategies and practices - and every employee plays a part in bringing this culture to life.
