Diversity Award
An inclusive work environment that values and leverages the unique differences of a diverse team is critical for the future success of the global business community. Over ninety percent (90%) of the Fortune 500 companies have active diversity initiatives in place and most include diversity as part of its business strategy. Ernst & Young leadership fully understands the importance of an inclusive environment that values the contributions of all its people. The firm believes that a key element of effective teaming is the diversity of thought generated from team members from different backgrounds and perspectives. Highly effective leaders are those who are experienced at leading diverse teams. Ernst & Young also believes that it is important for future leaders of the business community to have a great appreciation and understanding of how to successfully team in a diverse and inclusive environment. Accordingly, EY has initiated the “Ernst & Young LLP Diversity Award”.
