Two years ago we published an open letter titled Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes, outlining our commitment to fighting racial and social injustice. Last year we shared an update on our progress in, Something Changes if Something Changes. Now, we'd like to present the third chapter in our journey: Commit to Change, Change will Come. This third letter is a result of asking ourselves the tough questions, listening to our colleagues, our communities and taking an honest view of where we can still improve. We recognise that there are no overnight solutions to dismantling racism and inequality on a systemic level, and so we need to stand firm in our conviction to change. That means humbly celebrating the small victories, from welcoming our first-ever Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, to integrating an extensive DEI framework into our company DNA. The latest results from our DEI survey also demonstrated that BIPOC leadership has increased from 39% to 45%, with BIPOC making up 66.5% of our total workforce. Our reflections and soul searching identified one clear action step: a need to reframe our action plan into a 5-YEAR DEI ROADMAP, categorizing action into short-term and long-term work. This roadmap demonstrates how achieving equality is critical to DECIEM’s mission and vision as a company. We have identified and developed several initiatives centered around 4 commitment pillars: 1: Safety to be our authentic selves 2: Leverage diversity as our strength 3: Address systemic barriers in our communities 4: Accountability and governance To learn more details about our commitments to fighting racial and social injustice, please visit www.deciem.com/committochange.html
