Coalition Expands Reach and Impact into the
Business Community
CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM) announces today that Chuck Treadway,
President and CEO, joins the growing coalition pledging to advance
diversity and inclusion in the workplace through CEO Action for
Diversity & Inclusion™.
By signing on to this commitment, CommScope is pledging to take
action to cultivate a workplace where diverse perspectives and
experiences are welcomed and respected – a place where employees
feel encouraged to discuss diversity and inclusion. The collective
of over 2,200 signatories have already shared more than 1,800 best
known actions, exchanging tangible learning opportunities and
creating collaborative conversations via the initiative’s unified
hub, at CEOAction.com.
“It is important to provide a space for conversation, engagement
and advancement around diversity and inclusion,” said Chuck
Treadway, President and CEO. “Welcoming broader perspectives and
adopting new ideas, which arise out of an inclusive environment,
will make CommScope a better company. I am proud to commit to this
endeavor and look forward to turning our conversations into
actions.”
Organizations signing the pledge are taking a step towards
effecting positive change. A diverse and inclusive workforce
facilitates community, but also drives innovation and creativity. A
study revealed that 85 percent of those surveyed reported that
diversity is a key component towards fostering innovation.
CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ is cultivating a new
type of ecosystem centered around collaboration and sharing. The
actions, available via CEOAction.com, showcase real-life examples
of the open and transparent conversations to cultivate more diverse
and inclusive workplace environments. The addition of new
signatories expands the impact of this work beyond the office to
communities and industries.
CommScope is one of 30 companies in the telecommunications
industry pledging to tackle this critical societal issue by
cultivating a trusting environment where all ideas are welcomed,
and employees feel comfortable and empowered to have discussions
about diversity and inclusion. The company introduced its CommScope
Diversity & Inclusion Business Network (DIBN) in 2020 to foster
a culture that embraces employees’ unique perspectives and
contributions. In 2021, CommScope partnered with TED@Work to drive
a global campaign for its DIBN members to explore diversity,
equity, and inclusion topics. This pledge is one additional step of
many being taken.
CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ is led by a steering
committee of CEOs and leaders from Accenture, BCG, Deloitte US, The
Executive Leadership Council, EY, General Atlantic, KPMG, New York
Life, Procter & Gamble, and PwC. The coalition represents 85
industries, all 50 US States, and more than 21 million employees
globally.
To learn more about the pledge, please visit CEOAction.com. The
website serves as a hub for information sharing, idea generation,
and program development. With more than 1,800 best known actions
shared, companies that are not currently implementing the elements
of the pledge can use it as an opportunity to learn from others
that are already doing so. Learning from, and sharing, actions help
companies drive greater engagement within their own programs, as
well as mentor others on their journey.
