Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Houlihan Lokey is committed to fostering a diverse culture that is inclusive of all individuals regardless of their backgrounds. We make this commitment not only because we believe it is good for our communities, but because we know that it makes us a stronger global organization, better able to serve our clients. Led by our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) Council, Houlihan Lokey’s DE&I program seeks to enhance and foster policies and procedures to promote career growth, provide enriching opportunities for a diverse workforce, cultivate a strong sense of community at the firm, and more. Sample initiatives include ongoing education and training via guest speakers and workshops, internal round table discussions, and events in celebration of diversity throughout the year. We are always focused on growing our diverse workforce through our recruitment efforts, internships, community outreach, and other special events. Our partnerships with organizations such as INROADS, Opportunity Network, Thrive, and SEO serve as examples of our commitment to creating opportunities for future generations regardless of background. We also recognize that it is our responsibility not only to take action ourselves to create a more diverse organization, but also to inspire others to do the same. To this end, Houlihan Lokey is a signatory to the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ initiative, the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace and take action to promote equality in the corporate community. Charitable Giving Houlihan Lokey’s Charitable Giving Program was established to enhance the culture of charitable giving at all levels of the organization. We are dedicated to promoting the economic, social, and environmental well-being of the global communities in which we live and work. We support a broad range of charitable activities, and we dedicate our expertise and time to the advancement of the next generation of citizens through educational programs and personal and team volunteering. We encourage our employees to develop close community ties that make a positive impact. We also make financial contributions on behalf of our clients, assisting many local, national, and global charities. Give a Day to Charity Houlihan Lokey strives for community collaboration and partnership through its Give a Day to Charity program. We invite every employee to volunteer up to two working days each year with local charities that are important to them, and we further support their efforts through a financial contribution from the firm on their behalf. Employees are encouraged to combine their personal efforts by organizing team volunteering events for charities of their choice. Charitable Contributions Houlihan Lokey promotes its aim of social responsibility through multifaceted involvement, making charitable contributions in support of the efforts of its clients and providing funds that match the charitable contributions of its employees.
