CEO Action Pledge: Why Diversity, Inclusion, & Belonging Matters
Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging
At LiveRamp, every employee is a guardian of diversity, inclusion, and belonging. We work to foster a sense of belonging where everyone can bring their full selves to work.
Issues perpetuated by perceived differences do not stop at the workplace door—thankfully, neither do the benefits of focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion. That’s why our team’s diversity, inclusion, and belonging (“DIB”) efforts are a cornerstone of our innovative culture. Together, we can help solve some of the world’s biggest challenges, disrupt the status quo, and contribute to a more equitable future.
We’ve read and affirm that studies that show that inclusive workplaces produce better business outcomes. We strive to make LiveRamp a place where all people can thrive because building an inclusive workplace is simply the right thing to do.
DIB is important at LiveRamp because building a workplace where all can thrive improves business performance and is simply the right thing to do. Our DIB programs focus on developing intentional, systematic practices that enable people from all backgrounds to contribute and succeed.
With diverse representation across our business, the DIB Council ensures accountabilities, practices, measures, and mindsets are woven into every team at LiveRamp. Council members interact directly with LiveRamp’s executive team and board in order to keep them apprised of key initiatives and ensure that both sets of perspectives inform how we operate.
LiveRamp CEO Scott Howe has signed the CEO Action Pledge, along with 1,400 other leaders who represent some of the world’s largest employers. The pledge outlines actions signatory CEOs will take to cultivate an environment where all ideas are welcomed and employees feel comfortable and empowered to have discussions about diversity and inclusion.
Our employee resource groups (“ERGs”) exist to support the growth and development of our employees, communities, and business to increase diversity, inclusion, and belonging.
Currently, we have seven ERGs: EQUAL, LatinX@LiveRamp, Veterans@LiveRamp, Women@LiveRamp, RAMPability, Black@LiveRamp, AAPI@LiveRamp, and MOSAIC.
As of October 2020, four generations are represented among LiveRamp’s employees: we are 4% baby boomers, 19% Generation X, 74% millennials, and 3% Generation Z.
Each year, LiveRamp matches up to $1,000 in charitable donations per employee across thousands of organizations.
