PLEDGE
25X25
Pledge 25x25 challenges Silicon Valley and Bay Area companies to increase their diversity in business leadership by setting a goal of filling 25% of executive positions with hires from underrepresented groups by 2025 or pledging that the number of underrepresented individuals in leadership roles will increase by at least 25% by 2025.
25x25 sets a comprehensive blueprint for participating companies to diversify leadership as a business imperative while also operationalizing cultural change.
Companies that take the 25x25 pledge commit to the following actions:
REPORTING
Monitor internal metrics, providing diversity information and progress toward meeting Pledge 25x25 commitments annually.
EDUCATING
Provide employee training annually to foster inclusion and reduce unconscious bias, with best practices disseminated publicly.
FUNDING
Commit to increasing resources for funding and/or community engagement in support of underrepresented groups and the expansion of minority pipelines.
About Pledge 25x25
Diversifying at the top will improve our society by magnifying voices previously excluded from corporate America. Join leading economic powerhouses like Twitter, Genentech, and Alaska Airlines by committing to empowering diverse voices.
Innovating Equity Summit
The Innovating Equity Summit explored public and private sector strategies being used to promote a more equitable and inclusive future for Silicon Valley and the broader business community.
WHY DIVERSITY MATTERS NOW
A growing body of research shows that a diverse workforce—in areas including race, ethnicity, gender, ability, age, religion, veteran status, work styles, and experience—can make organizations better in every way, from employee satisfaction to the bottom line. Employers of the future recognize that enhanced creativity and innovation result from an organization's commitment to multiple perspectives.
