Coalition Expands Reach and Impact into the Business Community
Washington, D.C. – November 5, 2019 – Consilio, a global leader in eDiscovery, document review, risk management, and legal consulting services, joins the growing coalition pledging to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Andy Macdonald, CEO of Consilio, joins more than 750 CEOs that have come together for CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ to commit to the advancement of diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
By signing on to this commitment, Consilio is pledging to take action on cultivating a workplace where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and respected and where employees feel encouraged to discuss diversity and inclusion. The collective of more than 750 signatories have already shared more than 700 best known actions, exchanging tangible learning opportunities and creating collaborative conversations via the initiative’s unified hub, CEOAction.com.
“Providing a superior client experience has always been a focus for Consilio, and having a diverse work force and an inclusive environment is a critical pillar of that superior service,” said Andy Macdonald, CEO of Consilio. “Our business sits at the intersection of two professions and industries in which individuals of diverse backgrounds historically have been underrepresented – law and technology. We have found our most successful and valuable client relationships are with those law firms and corporations who have shared values and an understanding that diversity and inclusion drive innovation. As such, it is critical for us to continue to foster an environment where our employees are comfortable having difficult conversations, are aware of the impact of both implicit or unconscious biases, and have the opportunities to achieve professional goals.”
Organizations joining the pledge are taking a step towards effecting positive change. A diverse and inclusive workforce facilitates community, but also drives innovation and creativity. A recent study found that 85 percent of those surveyed reported that diversity is a key component to fostering innovation.
CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ is cultivating a new type of ecosystem centered around collaboration and sharing. The actions, available via CEOAction.com, showcase real-life examples of the open and transparent conversations to cultivate more diverse and inclusive workplace environments. The addition of new signatories expands the impact of this work beyond the office to communities and industries.
Consilio is the first eDiscovery company to join the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion. By making this pledge along with 750 other CEOs, including many of its professional services peers, Consilio hopes to cultivate more diverse and inclusive workplaces in the legal technology industry.
The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ is led by a steering committee of CEOs and leaders from Accenture, BCG, Deloitte US, The Executive Leadership Council, EY, General Atlantic, KPMG, New York Life, Procter & Gamble, and PwC. The coalition represents 85 industries, all 50 US States, and millions of employees globally.
