Diversity and Inclusion: Woven into the Fabric of our Culture
We recognize that our customers are our company and at the center of everything we do. Building the strongest team to serve policyholders requires a focus on creating and cultivating a diverse workforce, using diverse vendors and connecting with a diverse group of customers and their communities.
Statement of Unity
At CM Vantage, we are committed to serving organizations that elevate the human condition and strengthen our communities. The principles of diversity, equity and inclusion are woven into the fabric of our organization, providing support for this commitment.
We believe all people have the right to be treated with dignity and respect. Inspired by this foundational belief, we condemn all expressions and forms of hate, racism, bigotry, misogyny, violence and intolerance. And we pledge to do more than just talk about inequality. We are striving to end inequality through our words and actions, everywhere we go. In that spirit, we will celebrate our differences, lift up those who are hurting and pray that those who hate find love.
