Business Wire
Tech Data (Nasdaq: TECD) today announced that chief executive
officer Rich Hume has signed the Hispanic Promise. By joining more
than 45 other corporations in a public commitment to champion
Hispanics in the U.S. workplace, Tech Data reinforces its Diversity
and Inclusion mission to cultivate an environment of inclusion to
enrich the company, its culture and colleagues.
The Hispanic Promise is the first-of-its-kind national pledge to
hire, promote, retain and celebrate Hispanics in the workplace.
Launched at the World Economic Forum in 2019, the Hispanic Promise
is a non-legally binding sign of intention, a result of the joint
effort of multiple Hispanic organizations as a call to action for
business leaders and companies of corporate America to create a
more inclusive work environment for Hispanics. The pledge was
introduced by the We Are All Human Foundation during the 2019 World
Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“Inclusion is a critical part of our culture at Tech Data as one
of our shared values, so we are proud to sign the Hispanic Promise
as a reinforcement of our commitment to fostering a diverse and
inclusive workforce,” Hume said. “We celebrate the diversity of our
colleagues throughout our diversity and inclusion program and
business resource groups (BRGs). In particular, we introduced
Fuerza earlier this year, which is a BRG focused on contributing to
Tech Data’s success by advocating for the professional development
of all Hispanic/Latinx colleagues and providing education around
the inspiring and diverse cultures from across Latin America.”
In addition to signing the promise, Tech Data has received
numerous accolades for its commitment to diversity and inclusion,
earning a 100 percent rating on Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate
Equality Index for 14 years. In addition, the company has in place
a global diversity and inclusion program focused on ensuring Tech
Data nurtures a diverse workforce, encourages an inclusive
workplace and helps other companies do the same.
Diversity and inclusion also are important components of Tech
Data’s overall commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen
in alignment with environmental, social and governance (ESG)
principles. For more information on Tech Data’s diversity and
