Employment EPqouliictyy Employment Equity Policy Committed to diversity Recognizing that our customers include large corporations, government agencies and prime contractors, Fastenal is committed to promoting diversity not only within our company, but across our supply chain. Fastenal Canada, LTD. is committed to ensuring that no person is denied employment opportunities or benefits for reasons unrelated to ability and to achieving and maintaining a workforce that is representative of women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities. Fastenal Canada, LTD. undertakes to identify and remove any discriminatory policies and practices found in the recruitment, selection and hiring, promotion, training, retention and termination of employees in all levels and categories of employment. Employment equity is an on-going planning process to eliminate barriers in the workplace that may prevent the full participation of all current employees and potential employees. It focuses on the employment situation of four designated groups identified in the federal Employment Equity Act —women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and visible minorities ( herein referred to as the designated groups). The goal of employment equity is to achieve full representation in line with availability; identify and eliminate barriers in the organization’s employment policies and practices; remedy the effects of past discrimination; foster a climate for equity; improve access and distribution throughout all occupations and at all levels for members of the designated groups. Compliance with this policy is the personal responsibility of all employees, especially those who have responsibilities with regard to the employment process. Further, as an Employment Equity Employer, we will commit the necessary time and resources to meet our responsibilities and obligations. Any employee who does not comply with this policy is subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including discharge. To ensure compliance with this policy, I have designated Tabitha Newton, Director of Compliance – Human Resources. Noelle Oas, Executive VP – Human Resources, will report directly to me on any action deemed necessary for action or compliance. If you believe that you have received treatment contrary to this policy, immediately notify any Fastenal supervisor, manager, or to the following individuals: Noelle Oas Executive Vice-President of Human Resources (507) 313-7769 Tabitha Newton Director of Compliance - Human Resources (507) 453 - 8619 Signed, Daniel Florness, President & CEO
