Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. Signs BlackNorth Initiative Pledge to End Systemic Anti-Black Racism

Canada NewsWire

TORONTO, Feb. 1, 2021 /CNW/ - Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. (TSX: CF) (the "Company") announces that its President & CEO Dan Daviau has joined the leaders of over 300 Canadian companies in pledging to take action to end systemic anti-Black racism as part of the BlackNorth Initiative.

"Across our organization, we strive to create an environment of equity and success to ensure that employees of all backgrounds feel supported in reaching their full potential," said Dan Daviau, President & CEO of Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. "The BlackNorth Initiative provides an excellent support framework for ensuring that Canaccord Genuity can be a positive contributor to lasting change in our own business and the broader community."

"We commend Mr. Daviau and his team at Canaccord Genuity for pledging to the BlackNorth Initiative. This is an important step in establishing corporate accountability and empowering employees through diversity and inclusion initiatives," said Wes Hall, Founder and Chairman of the BlackNorth Initiative. "By signing the pledge, it gives a promising sign that my peers in the financial services space are progressively looking to make a greater impact on systemic anti-Black racism and are stepping up to work towards increasing representation of BIPOC talent."

The Company announced its formal commitment to advancing diversity and inclusion in 2016, which has resulted in positive advancements in our talent management processes and in our daily interactions, ensuring that inclusion is central to our core values. While this work is far from complete, we are committed to continuous education, and advancement of the policies and processes that address inequality, as they relate to both the employee and client experience.
