Re: DEI Initiatives
To Whom it May Concern,
I was disappointed to learn of your firm’s recent rollback of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. There are many studies which show how DEI initiatives are not just a component of social responsibility; diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace practices have a positive impact on market share, revenue, employee retention, employee engagement, and productivity of leadership. Several such studies are cited below.

As someone who would like to continue financially supporting your business, I request that you reinstitute DEI initiatives for the good of your firm and your stakeholders.
