Diversity, equity, and inclusion at SAIF
At SAIF we respect, value, and celebrate the attributes, characteristics, and perspectives that make each person unique.
We strive to create an environment where all employees feel supported, listened to, and have the opportunity to do their personal best. Inclusion is an important part of creating this kind of culture. It is reflected in our organizational practices, policies, and relationships.
As a company of diverse individuals, we believe we are more effective, innovative, and better positioned to accomplish our corporate mission.
