Energizing DEI+B for Long-Term Progress

As an organization that has built its success on “doing the right thing”, we diligently incorporate diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging into every department, process, and decision. It’s an integrally woven part of our culture. 

We have created internal systems and policies that foster diversity, equity, and inclusion to grow and flourish, including a DEI Committee & Advisory Committee, DEI framework, employee resource groups, and cultural holidays. 

Leading the Charge

At CBE we are proud to be led by a visionary CEO. Gender diversity in leadership is not just a statistic for us; it’s a testament to our commitment to inclusivity, innovation, and progress that directly benefits our clients. 

Parks’s guidance has been instrumental in shaping a culture that values and promotes women in leadership roles, with women now comprising 58% of our leadership team. This stance sets a powerful example within the industry, showcasing the positive impact of diversity at the highest levels of management.
