We are starting in the same position as many other companies have in the past but have experienced an acceleration of efforts that is rare for a company of our size. Our teams and leaders are energized by the work we are continuing to do, and we see an investment of time and effort to learn and share at every level in organization. We still have work to do, but we are excited for the journey that will get us there.” - Deliece Knights-Barnett, CDO, SGS & Co “Our organization is making incredible strides towards building a diverse and inclusive workplace for all – and we’re just getting started.
