Diversity Equity Inclusion
Our commitment
Each of us at Yangaroo is committed to building and sustaining an equitable and inclusive work environment where cultural diversity is celebrated and valued. We believe diversity benefits and enriches the development our products and allows us to deliver the best possible service to our customers.
Staff and Suppliers
At Yangaroo, we believe that now more than ever, there is great need for businesses to increase diverse representation, build greater inclusion, drive positive change, and ensure accountability. We already have a truly diverse and inclusive organization, and by making DEI a strategic priority, we take ownership of obstacles and design opportunities to continue evolving. At Yangaroo we look at Diversity in two ways: inward and outward.
LOOKING INWARD
LOOKING OUTWARD
Looking outward, we are proactively seeking diverse organizations as suppliers. Our goal is to;
- identify and increase sourcing from Diversity Suppliers where possible and relevant (buying goods and services from companies who are certified as diversity suppliers).
- Engage in local and national events that allow diverse suppliers an opportunity to promote their business to Yangaroo.
- Establish realistic goals to increase $ and % spend on diverse suppliers annually.
- Create an internal database of diverse suppliers for business consideration
