Human rights are the basic standards of treatment to which all people are entitled worldwide, regardless of factors such as nationality, gender, and race or economic status. CN's Human Rights Policy is embodied in our Code of Business Conduct to which all employees must abide.

Human Rights Policy

CN's Human Rights policy confirms our support of Human Rights and non-discrimination in the various jurisdictions where we operate, such as the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We do not tolerate discrimination in any form and hold CN executives responsible for the enforcement of the provisions of our Human Rights Policy in Canada and Equal Employment Opportunity legislation in the United States.

Anti-Harassment Policy

CN is committed to providing a non-discriminatory, harassment-free work environment. The CN Prohibited Harassment, Discrimination and Anti-Retaliation Policy (U.S.) and the Harassment-Free Environment Policy(Canada) prohibit harassment based on age, colour, disability, family status, gender, language spoken, national or ethnic origin, marital status, pardoned conviction, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law.

The policy extends to our dealings with customers, suppliers and contractors. We respond promptly to all complaints and work to ensure they are resolved quickly and confidentially.
