Building a more inclusive and equitable world for all
As a global commerce platform, Shopify is committed to creating a world where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. This means fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to be their authentic selves. It also means supporting entrepreneurs from all backgrounds and empowering them to build successful businesses.
At Shopify, we believe that diversity and inclusion are essential to our success. We know that a diverse workforce brings a wider range of perspectives and experiences to the table, which leads to better decision-making and innovation. We also know that an inclusive workplace is one where everyone feels like they belong and can contribute their best work.
That’s why we’ve implemented a number of programs and initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion at Shopify. These include:
* **Employee Resource Groups (ERGs):** These groups provide a safe and supportive space for employees of all backgrounds to connect and share their experiences. We currently have 12 ERGs at Shopify, representing a variety of identities and backgrounds.
* **Diversity and inclusion training:** All Shopify employees are required to complete diversity and inclusion training, which helps them to understand and address unconscious bias and create a more inclusive workplace.
* **Mentorship and sponsorship programs:** These programs help to connect employees from underrepresented groups with mentors and sponsors who can help them advance their careers.
* **Recruitment and hiring practices:** We are committed to recruiting and hiring a diverse workforce. We have partnered with a number of organizations that focus on diversity and inclusion, and we have implemented a number of initiatives to attract and retain talent from underrepresented groups.
* **Supplier diversity program:** We are committed to working with a diverse range of suppliers. We have set a goal of spending 10% of our procurement budget with diverse suppliers by 2025.
We are proud of the progress we have made in promoting diversity and inclusion at Shopify. However, we know that there is always more work to be done. We are committed to continuing to build a more inclusive and equitable world for all.
