Established in 2017, CEO Action was created to promote inclusive and diverse workplaces, emphasizing how collaboration and bold action from the business community, particularly CEOs, are essential for driving large-scale change.
The coalition offers a range of tools, resources, events, and thought-leadership opportunities to help CEOs make impactful decisions for their organization. By convening leaders across industries, our signatories have the opportunity to learn from and challenge one another.
CEO Action is dedicated to build greater understanding and creating workplaces that reflect the diversity of our society, striving collectively for a more just and inclusive world.
CEO Action is now the largest business-led initiative to advance I&D in the workplace, with more than 2,500 CEOs having pledged to create more inclusive cultures while not being afraid of having difficult conversations about inclusion and diversity.
As of Oct. 1, 2024, SHRM assumed leadership of CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion. We are excited to collaborate with you on this journey to drive meaningful change in your workplaces. Under SHRM, this initiative will now be called SHRM CEO Action for Inclusion & Diversity, serving as the trusted, data-driven advisor C-suite executives require to prioritize impactful change in their workplaces.
