“We believe that diversity and inclusion are more than a corporate policy—they are embedded into our daily operations,” said Dan Beckerman, President and CEO of AEG. “We strive to ensure that the suppliers we engage and the employees we hire reflect the rich breadth of the communities where we conduct business. We are committed to growing a best-in-class approach to diversity, equity and inclusion because it is not only the ‘right thing to do,’ but because employees are more engaged and productive when they feel respected, valued and truly belong.”

The pledge outlines a specific set of actions that participating organizations will take to cultivate diversity, including:
- Creating and maintaining a workplace environment that allows for conversations about diversity and inclusion.
- Implementing and expanding unconscious bias education to help employees recognize, acknowledge and minimize any potential blind spots they may have.
- Sharing both successful best practices and programs and unsuccessful actions around diversity and inclusion.
- And creating and sharing strategic inclusion and diversity plans with their board of directors, or equivalent governing bodies.
