CIMA+, one of Canada’s largest privately-owned consulting engineering firms, is proud to announce that it has achieved the Silver level of its Parity Certification awarded by Women in Governance. One year after obtaining its first Bronze level certification, CIMA+ has demonstrated its ongoing commitment to parity within the company. Women in Governance’s Parity Certification assessment includes more than 75 quantitative and qualitative criteria, taking into account the multiple facets of diversity in the advancement of women’s careers. By undergoing Women in Governance’s assessment process, CIMA+ exemplifies the importance it places on promoting women in the workplace, at all levels of the company.

CIMA+ demonstrates its commitment to parity by having a Board of Directors of 4 women out of 7 members, as well as an Executive Committee of 30% women.
