This recognition is part of our daily efforts to ensure that women reach leadership positions; and that their talent, influence and leadership are recognized. It is an honour to be recognized for parity, a strong value rooted in our governance principles and at the heart of our business strategy," said Alan MacKenzie, CEO of JLL Canada.
JLL has set itself to support and promote the advancement of women in the workplace, particularly in real estate. The company has also set up the JLL Women in Real Estate Awards, which, for the third year in a row, will allow female students to pursue a career in the field. To this end, JLL recently announced its intention to double the number of scholarships it awards through Concordia University and also to establish a new scholarship at the University of Montreal.
