Diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI) at the leadership level promote innovative thinking, a more comprehensive range of skill sets, and advanced company culture. It also contributes to equality of opportunity and treatment in the workplace at all stages of the employment relationship, including recruitment, retention, promotion, remuneration, and access to training and skills development.

There has also been increasing global awareness regarding the right to a dignified and respectful workplace irrespective of the sexual orientation and ethnicity of the employees, which promotes an open and inclusive workplace.

DEI is critical to the business performance of the consumer sector, which encompasses retailers and consumer-packaged goods manufacturers, since consumers want to buy goods that reflect their values, wants, and needs. Consumers expect more from brands than ever, and retailers must honor DEI. Understanding the brand, setting DEI commitments from the top, delivering on the pledges, recruiting from diverse pools, and creating a supportive environment can all contribute to DEI.
