Diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI) organizations bring unique perspectives and ideas that enhance innovation, productivity, and resilience. In addition, it promotes equality of opportunity and treatment at all levels of the employment relationship, including recruitment, retention, promotion, remuneration, and training.

Promoting an open and inclusive workplace begins with increasing global awareness that all workers have the right to a dignified and respectful workplace, regardless of their sexual orientation or ethnicity.

Top technology companies are working to lift underrepresented groups such as Asians, Blacks, and Hispanics. Apple committed an additional $30 million to its Racial Equity and Justice Initiative in August 2021. In the US, Microsoft plans to double the number of Black and African American people managers, senior individual contributors, and senior leaders by 2025.

However, the number of executives from underrepresented groups remains surprisingly low in significant technology companies.

Meta Platforms Inc (Meta), formerly Facebook Inc, is a provider of social networking, advertising, and business insight solutions. In 2022, the representation of Asian employees in the Meta offices in the US was 46.5%, an increase of 0.8 percentage points over 2021. Hispanic and Black employees represented 6.7% and 4.9% of the workforce, respectively.

In leadership roles at Meta’s US office, the representation of Asian employees was 28.6% in 2022. Hispanic & Latinx employees represented 5.4% and Black employees at 4.9% at senior levels in the US workforce in 2022.

By 2024, Meta aims to double the number of Black and Hispanic employees in its US workforce. In 2021, Meta spent $1.26 billion with US diverse suppliers and $306 million with Black-owned businesses to improve inclusivity to create better experiences for everyone.
