Innisfree states without reservation: Black Lives Matter. We are unequivocally committed to the eradication of systemic racism and to the creation of a just society.
Innisfree values inclusion of individuals of all different races, genders, sexual preferences, ages and physical capabilities, in the belief that a culture of diversity will foster innovation, intelligence and imagination—and ultimately excellence—to the benefit of our employees, society and clients.
We realize, however, that if we are to effect real change, at Innisfree and in our society as a whole, we must do more than express our beliefs—we must also act.
To that end, we are carefully reviewing our policies and programs, especially our hiring practices, to ensure that we are a firm that provides equal opportunities to all our employees and does not simply rely on long-standing practices. We are also looking to become directly engaged in our communities through internships and other structures to assist young people of color in achieving greatness, despite systemic disadvantages. Additionally, we are more strongly focusing our charitable giving program on organizations pursuing social justice.
We are committed to achieving these goals and to continuing to identify other meaningful actions.
Innisfree is a comparatively small company, but we strongly believe we have an obligation to join with others and work together to bring about a truly inclusive and equitable society.
