What is our company’s position on diversity, equity, and inclusion?

For the health of our business and in keeping with our organizational values of [insert language of company values], we are committed to creating an inclusive work environment where every employee can feel that they belong, has fair and open access to opportunity, and is able to thrive at [Company].
We hold this commitment because we know it will help our teams better solve problems and help us retain our best talent. It will also drive innovation and business outcomes, because our employees will be more engaged and will experience improved wellbeing and lower burnout. It is also critical for our success in the marketplace and for the clients, consumers, shareholders, suppliers, and communities we serve and on whom we rely.
Research demonstrates:
- EY's 2023 Driving Better Business Results Through DE&I research on business performance from 500+ teams, comprising 140,000 employees, found that groups with a higher percentage of women partners achieved +4% higher gross margin and +10% higher total net revenue per full-time equivalent. Improved profitability like this can represent millions of dollars in impact to the bottom line.
- EY also found that groups with higher cultural diversity and inclusiveness had +9.6 points higher retention and that when employees experienced a stronger sense of belonging they had +3 points higher retention. These represent hundreds of thousands of dollars or more in cost savings due to increased engagement and retention.
- Additionally, when companies establish inclusive business cultures and policies, they are 59% more likely to achieve greater creativity and innovation — both essential for our business.
- And, when companies establish inclusive cultures and policies, research from the International Labour Organization found companies are 38% more likely to be able to better assess consumer interest and demand — something we have seen organizations like Costco double down on as they seek to ensure they can best serve their members.
Our most valuable asset is our people – from our employees to our suppliers, buyers, and clients. And the data is clear: from productivity to profitability, having the right mix of people in the right roles and environment matters. This is just good business.
