As a company, we prioritize Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) as fundamental pillars of our culture and operations. We believe that fostering diversity not only enriches our workplace but also drives innovation and enhances our ability to serve our customers and communities effectively. Here are some examples of our efforts and initiatives in the realm of DE&I: 1. Recruitment and Hiring Practices: We actively seek diverse talent by employing inclusive recruitment strategies and ensuring job postings reach a wide range of candidates. We also strive to mitigate bias in our hiring process through structured interviews and diverse hiring panels. 2. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs): We support and encourage the formation of ERGs to provide a platform for employees from various backgrounds to connect, share experiences, and advocate for their needs within the organization. 3. Training and Development: We provide ongoing training and development opportunities focused on diversity awareness, unconscious bias, and inclusive leadership for all employees, managers, and executives. 4. Supplier Diversity: We are committed to partnering with diverse suppliers and vendors, actively seeking out opportunities to engage with minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and other diverse businesses. 5. Community Engagement: We engage with and support organizations and initiatives that promote DE&I in our communities. This includes sponsoring events, participating in mentorship programs, and volunteering our time and resources. Leadership Commitment: Our leadership team is actively involved in championing DE&I efforts, setting clear goals, and holding themselves and others accountable for progress. Regarding our efforts/initiatives to obtain certification in DE&I programs, we are actively exploring opportunities to formalize and validate our commitment to DE&I through recognized certification programs. While certification is one aspect of our DE&I journey, our ultimate goal is to create an inclusive culture where all employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their best work. We recognize that certification can provide external validation of our efforts and help us benchmark against industry best practices. We are committed to continuous improvement in this area and welcome feedback from our stakeholders as we strive to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace and society.
