Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

What We Believe

We respect and celebrate the unique attributes, characteristics, and perspectives that make all of us who we are. We draw our strength from our collective experiences—fostering a culture of belonging and innovation.

How We Prioritize DEI

This work is important and these conversations are hard. But we are committed to the long term and strategic efforts of ensuring everyone belongs.

If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage the outcome. Through confidential surveys, we translate our culture into quantitative data—allowing us to track our progress.

We have a small group of diverse people who champion this important work at Saxum. While this is everyone’s responsibility, we know progress requires strong leadership. Our champions keep us on track.

We’re committed to having 1,000 small conversations—especially the uncomfortable ones. Through formal and informal training, we’re fostering a culture of belonging and innovation.
