Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Collectively, we all drive our business forward.
Our Commitment to Our DEI Journey
At Echo, we collectively drive our business forward by creating an environment where all can thrive by embracing our diverse backgrounds. Our core values encourage us to listen, educate ourselves, pay attention to important issues, and support our employees.
Echo is committed to continuously expanding our understanding of the diverse perspectives of our colleagues, clients, partners, and the communities we serve. By doing so, we continue to work toward a future guided by empathy, equity, and inclusion.
We Achieve Results Through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Echo infuses DEI throughout our business and across all stakeholders including our colleagues, carriers, clients, and community partners. Our R.I.D.E. Framework (Results through Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity) provides a structured approach to achieving business impact through DEI and ensuring alignment with our corporate strategy.
Our employee-led Business Resource Groups promote diversity, equity, and inclusion by driving awareness of diverse backgrounds and identities while providing spaces for all Echo employees to find a community.
