Diversity, equity, and inclusion - Commitments

Social justice and racial equity

We work with our own people, our clients, and our communities on a range of  topics, including social and racial justice.

Commitments

Since 2020, we have been working with our own people, our clients, and our communities, and we have supported key initiatives in the Americas and in our other regions. As we reflect on our progress, we acknowledge both successes and areas where we can do more.

In terms of our people, we have doubled our representation of Black leaders in the Americas and have introduced several measures, such as scholarships and recruitment bootcamps, to deepen our diverse talent pipeline. Globally, we completed ~930 Days of Action to pursue social justice, inclusion, and racial equity work in 2023 alone. Inspired by the action taken in the Americas, we launched a new learning program in all regions in partnership with external advisors. These trainings were catered to regional nuances, including topics such as disability etiquette, anti-racism, and allyship. 

With our clients and other stakeholders in the community, we continue to share our experiences, learnings, and DEI education, including sponsoring chief diversity officer roundtables. We have also collaborated on pro bono projects across all of our regions. Notably, the Americas has doubled pro bono work related to racial equity and social justice, Europe conducted more than 60 pro bono projects, and the Middle East and Africa dedicated more than 200 pro bono hours between 2020 and 2023.

Looking forward, our focus remains on cultivating relationships, allocating resources to DEI training, supporting social and racial justice causes, increasing representation by minority leaders, and prioritizing equitable pathways for success.
