Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and
Belonging at Edelman

Our DEIB Vision

Diversity enriches our culture and delivers stronger business results. But diversity cannot be maintained without equity and inclusion, the necessary elements to foster genuine belonging.

Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) transform our colleagues, our clients, and our communities, and propel us forward as a company. By recognizing, valuing, and maintaining diversity of all types—sex, gender identity, race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability status, veteran or military status, socio-economic background and more—we create an environment where individual authenticity can power collective ambition. 

At Edelman, we are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful to all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust and collaboration.

Each day and on each project, we strive to ensure that our colleagues feel a sense of true belonging and can bring the best of who they are to their work— taking action and shaping impactful moments and movements within our company, on behalf of our clients, and within communities around the globe.

Our DEIB Vision

The world is changing rapidly, and our DEIB actions must evolve and accelerate to meet our employees’ and clients’ needs. Edelman’s strategy is divided into four pillars to ensure DEIB is woven into our culture, behaviors and processes.

Taking Action

Partnerships & Sponsorships

As part of our ongoing commitment to champion DEIB within the PR, marketing, advertising, and communications industries, Edelman has made it a priority to partner with diverse industry and professional groups to provide leadership and growth opportunities for individuals around our network. Additionally, we work with community organizations and non-profit partners to positively impact and influence society.
