HOMEDIVERSITY OUR COMMITMENT FOR CHANGE DIVERSITY We stand against inequality, in all forms. The Architecture/Engineering/Construction community faces systemic barriers that produce an overwhelmingly white, male workforce. Deeply rooted racism persists within our country, and specifically our industry. Combined, these challenges contribute to an inherently biased workplace culture. This is unacceptable, and we are taking measured steps toward improvement. ANDERSEN IS COMMITTED TO MEANINGFUL CHANGE ACROSS OUR INDUSTRY. We are actively listening, learning, and implementing strategies to influence positive change - as individuals and as a company. Starting with acknowledging our responsibility, we are responding by actively fighting against racism and discrimination of all kinds. This is a lifelong commitment that extends from our executive leadership team, to our office staff and jobsites, to our vendors, trade partners, and clients. Two of our fundamental Core Values, “We treat everyone as an individual with dignity and respect” and “We do everything as a team,” serve to guide our people in how to act every day. Our values will not be compromised. We commit to combat injustices as a united front - striving for and committed to lasting, impactful change. Trust is built through actions, not words. Silence is not an option. We are taking immediate steps, and developing long-term solutions to enact change across four major areas: Industry Growth, Business Operations, Internal Culture, and Community Support. We invite you to click each category below to learn more about our current initiatives: INDUSTRY GROWTH BUSINESS OPERATIONS INTERNAL CULTURE COMMUNITY SUPPORT CONTACT These are incremental steps on a long path toward making a better world for all of us. We will continue to have the uncomfortable conversations, re-examine ourselves to overcome bias, and actually do the work necessary for meaningful change. We are accountable to ourselves, our team members, and our communities, and will share our progress regularly along the way. See something? Say Something. At Andersen Construction, we believe that Psychological Safety is as important as Physical Safety. If you have witnessed or experienced behaviors that are not in alignment with Andersen's Core Values—such as behaviors that are harassing, bullying, hazing, demeaning or otherwise harmful—we would like to know about it so we can address it. These can be reported using our anonymous third-party Respectful Workplace Hotline. For questions, suggestions, and continued conversations, please contact our Diversity Team directly.
