Clarkston Consulting Unveils 10-Year DEI Goals
Clarkston Consulting, a business consultancy focusing on the life sciences, retail, and consumer industries, has announced a set of 10-year corporate goals for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
The goals were mapped out over the last year through a collaborative process between the firm’s diversity council, senior leaders, and employees. The new DEI targets address leadership, recruiting, employee engagement, marketing, and other areas.
The major pillars include a representative partner group by 2032 that matches the firm’s racial/ethnic, gender, and LGBT identity makeup, and a representative firm composition that matches national averages in the above categories. As of the 2020 US census, the country is 58% white, 19% Hispanic, 12% Black, and 6% Asian. According to a 2023 Gallup poll, 7.2% of Americans identify as LGBT.
The firm is also targeting internal and external recognition for “trailblazing” DEI practices, with both internal and external parties identifying Clarkston as a leading firm embodying DEI values.
