Impact Awards

The I&D Impact Awards are more than just accolades: They are a powerful endorsement of your commitment to building a more inclusive and equitable future. According to World 50 Group’s 2024 Inclusion & Diversity Impact report, 85% of respondents now share external recognition for DEI achievements with their company’s directors, reflecting a growing trend in board-level interest in diverse workforces.

“Being recognized not only validates our hard work but underscores how our DEI efforts are simultaneously expanding opportunities, enhancing customer experiences, and positively transforming our business,” said the EY team, who was awarded the 2024 Inclusion Award. “The I&D Impact Awards are a platform to showcase the critical link between DEI and business strategy.”
