As we embark on new frontiers, we are focusing strategically on ESG.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
“We Are One Team” is our company value and commitment to create an environment where everyone is empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. Our diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and life experiences create our unique team and fuel our innovation. We execute on our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals through numerous programs including our employee resource groups, an employee-led DEI council, benefits, and more. Our values guide us — we live them every day, measure our success, and continuously evolve.
Non-discrimination
At every stage of the employee life-cycle, we are committed to upholding standards of non-discrimination. Our Global Non-Discrimination Statement states, “Having a diverse workforce – made up of team members who bring a wide variety of skills, abilities, experiences, and perspectives – is essential to our success. We are committed to the principles of equal employment opportunity, diversity, inclusion, and respect. The Company will not tolerate discrimination and expressly prohibits any form of unlawful harassment based on race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, military service, genetic information, citizenship status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state or local law.”

Additionally, this council serves as the guiding body for Inclusion & Diversity, provides oversight of ERG initiatives, and ensures accountability and monitoring of these strategies at IAS.
