Univate’s Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

At Univate, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are critical to fostering innovation, driving growth, and creating a positive impact in our communities. Our commitment to DEI is at the heart of everything we do, and it sets us apart as a consulting firm dedicated to building a more equitable world.

In 2024, we launched our DEI Initiative to cultivate a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment that mirrors the communities in which we operate. This initiative is not just about hiring and training talent; it’s about investing in the future of diverse entrepreneurs and creating opportunities that empower underrepresented communities.

Here are a few of our commitments to DEI:

• Inclusive Hiring Practices: We are dedicated to recruiting and developing a workforce that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve.
• Support for Diverse Entrepreneurs: We make strategic investments to provide resources and support to a new generation of diverse business leaders.
• Community Engagement: We actively engage with local organizations to support and uplift underrepresented communities.

By doing so, we help our clients grow their businesses and contribute to an economic pipeline that enriches the communities we serve.

We hope this commitment inspires and informs our partners, clients, and the broader community. Join us in our efforts to create a more equitable ecosystem—an endeavor that ultimately benefits us all.

Sincerely,
Samantha
Head of DEI
