Celebrating Culture with BIC's Asian Pacific Islander Alliance

 

We believe that the unique backgrounds, experiences and skillsets of our team members make us stronger as an organization. 

By fostering a culture of inclusion, our team members feel empowered to build connections, learn from each other and celebrate our differences. Through the work of our employee-led resource groups (ERGs) in North America, team members champion diversity, educate and empower each other at different moments throughout the year. 

 

Recently, the Asian Pacific Islander Alliance (APIA), one of BIC’s six ERGs, hosted a Diwali celebration for team members in the U.S. and Canada. APIA aims to amplify the voices and observe the rich cultures of our AAPI colleagues by bringing team members together.  

To honor the Indian festival of lights, members of #TeamBIC participated with traditional music and dancing, henna tattoos and food from locally owned Indian businesses. 

 

"Coming together to celebrate the cultures of our team members through annual festivities like Diwali helps bring us closer together, strengthening our sense of belonging and community at BIC,” shares Steeve Yammine, VP of Supply Chain, Americas & APAC, and Executive Sponsor of APIA.
