"In terms of diversity, inclusion means an appreciation and respect for our many similarities and differences, including the perspectives and approaches of our co-workers and the communities and businesses that we serve. Acknowledging and accepting our differences are organizational strengths that allow us to better adapt to change and develop strategies that are more creative and diverse. As such, diversity and inclusion are resources that are fundamental to organizational excellence."
