Putting Diversity Promises Into Action
Putting Diversity Promises Into Action
With diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) cemented as critical strategic priorities for institutional investors, the dust is beginning to settle on approaches to operationalizing DEI-related commitments. This Compass Series event featured a discussion about one of the most prominent collective DEI efforts, ILPA’s Diversity in Action initiative, and its two key pillars: (1) A commitment from investors to foundational DEI-related activities, including the tracking of diversity metrics and the implementation of inclusive recruitment and retention policies; and (2) The combined force of a rapidly growing community of over 200 signatories representing both LPs and GPs.
