Corporate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives are not just about social responsibility. They're also about business performance.
Studies from McKinsey and others have consistently shown that diverse teams drive innovation, enhance risk mitigation, improve decision-making, and ultimately deliver stronger revenue and profits. Indeed, according to McKinsey, companies in the top quartile for gender or ethnic diversity on executive teams are 39% more likely to outperform their peers financially compared to those in the bottom quartile, while those that rank in the top quartile for both are, on average, 9% more likely to outperform their peers. Conversely, companies in the bottom quartile for both are 66% less likely to achieve above-average profitability.
