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 inward is Yangaroo’s internal DEI program that supports the company culture, attracts diverse talent, and relates to customers who share the same values. We focus on our internal culture to develop inclusiveness and equality. We will be sharing information, stories, training modules, and staff highlights to celebrate us and encourage connection. Our goal for doing this is simple: promote a company culture where we feel confident to bring our whole selves to work.
LOOKING OUTWARD
Looking outward, we are proactively seeking diverse organizations as
suppliers. Our goal is to;
[1] identify and increase sourcing from Diversity Suppliers where possible
and relevant (buying goods and services from companies who are certified
as diversity suppliers).
[2] Engage in local and national events that allow diverse suppliers an
opportunity to promote their business to Yangaroo.
[3] Establish realistic goals to increase $ and % spend on diverse suppliers
annually.
[4] Create an internal database of diverse suppliers for business
consideration
