Equity Residential Joins CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion
Equity Residential has joined CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion as a declaration of its commitment to cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace. The decision comes on the heels of the Chicago-based multifamily REIT conducting listening sessions to provide an opportunity for employees of color to share their stories and experiences.
“We are proud to join more than 1,000 leading companies in signing the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion Pledge,” said Mark J. Parrell, Equity Residential’s president and CEO. “We have been deeply moved by the stories shared by employees of Equity Residential and by what has recently transpired in our country.”
CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion was collectively formed in 2017 and is led by a steering committee of CEOs and leaders throughout the country. It’s reportedly the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion within the workplace.
