Diversity, equity & inclusion We believe in doing more than checking boxes

Accountability matters. So does action.

Beyond the numbers

Numbers aren’t values. We know that progress must be a product of lived experiences, felt and enacted by real people. That’s why we foster a more welcoming and inclusive culture — and make it the foundation for all that we do.

BRGs have an open line to our leaders, playing an active role advocating and proposing tangible changes at our firm.
