Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

A Dedicated Focus on Economic Inclusion

GAC-DEI-logo

Equity and inclusion are economic imperatives for this region and every company within it.

Understanding the gaps for inclusion in our organization and among our business initiatives, GAC created an Economic and Inclusion Committee that includes members from companies of all sizes, with key representatives and decision makers who have been working with us to guide new work in this area.
