Diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEI+J) has become a top priority for US businesses in recent years. While companies have invested heavily in top-down initiatives like workforce development and recruitment, many have yet to implement the deeper, structural changes needed to make a lasting impact.
And now with growing political backlash and risk of litigation, progress that has been made is under threat as businesses consider muting or even pausing their DEI+J efforts.
To see how businesses are doing on DEI+J during this charged atmosphere, we surveyed corporate leaders across a wide range of Fortune 500 companies, exploring topics like social equity, mentorship, integration of DEI+J into policies and values, responsible sourcing, political lobbying, community-focused justice issues, and more.
Our findings reveal that companies have tremendous opportunity to amplify their impact and drive business value by leveraging DEI+J as more than just a transactional tool.
