NACD Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Awards

The NACD Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Awards highlight forward-thinking boards that leverage the power of diversity, equity, and inclusion to enhance their governance and create long-term value for their organizations and stakeholders.

Nominated boards are assessed based on how the board’s composition, culture, and practices align with the company’s DE&I objectives, and how DE&I approaches impact the organization and external stakeholders.

This year's winners demonstrated successful implementation of organizational best practices in DE&I, including:

• aligning company values with DE&I initiatives;
• fully engaging senior executives in DE&I efforts to gain leadership buy-in from the top down;
• developing a deep understanding of company culture and taking clear steps to effect change;
• prioritizing effort to create a safe, people-centered environment for employees;
• actively engaging with employees and communities and cultivating strong stakeholder relationships; and
• establishing measurable key performance indicators to track progress against set goals and priorities, including targets to ensure long-term growth and development.
