Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

 

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We seek innovation—and not just in technology. We continually strive to become better, for our employees, for our customers, for our partners, and for our communities. That means fostering equity, fairness, and opportunity. How do we accomplish this? By learning from our communities. Unique perspectives empower us to build a respectful, diverse, and inclusive culture.

These voluntary, employee-driven groups are organized around a shared interest, characteristic, or experience, with the purpose of promoting diversity, cultural awareness, and an inclusive work environment. Current ERGs include:
