Standing Together Against Racial Injustice
The events related to the crisis of racial injustice have emanated throughout the U.S. and to other countries worldwide, so we believe it is appropriate to share with you our position, our actions, and how our values guide our actions. Racial injustice and violence have no place in our society or in our company. Together we stand with the Black community in condemning such hatred and seeking resolution, reform, and real change.
Our focus at Protiviti is a long-term commitment for enduring change, even when this progress requires us to be uncomfortable. Meaningful actions require the rich teamwork that is a hallmark of our firm, building on the inertia we are now seeing. The social and racial injustice that we are all witnessing will take time to resolve, but we stand committed to taking focused action to support this transformation.
Lowering Financial Barriers to Opportunity | Diverse Supplier Grant Initiative
Protiviti is proud to partner with JPMorgan Chase in the Diverse Supplier Grant Initiative. This program is aimed at providing diverse-owned businesses, with an emphasis on Black, Hispanic, and Latino-owned businesses, access to growth capital they need to more effectively compete and secure corporate contracts from companies like ours, JPMorgan Chase, and the Fortune 500.
Meeting minimum requirements for doing business with large corporations can often be cost-prohibitive for diverse-owned small businesses. This program is being funded by a combination of contributions from JPMorgan Chase, as well as other corporations like ours, with an interest in fostering the success of diverse suppliers.
Through this initiative we aim to lower common financial barriers diverse businesses experience when seeking opportunities with large corporations. Our collective goal is to deliver a multi-year grant program that is agile and scalable to meet the rising demand for emerging Black and Hispanic businesses in corporate supply chains. JPMorgan Chase, as the sponsor of this initiative, partnered with the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and certified 501(c)(3), to administer the initiative end-to-end.
