Building a committed DE&I approach
We've always looked at diversity through multiple lenses; gender, race and ethnicity, LGBQTIA+, disability, neurodiversity, demands associated with caregiving, among others. We are committed to creating an equitable and inclusive environment that supports the development of all of our colleagues globally. In 2020, we professionalized those efforts by building a DE&I committee, followed by a committed DE&I leadership team.
Publishing our first annual ESG report
We've always been committed to making a positive change. Serving our community and clients to the best of our ability is simply part of our DNA.
