    We believe in cultivating a culture that is diverse and inclusive, so in 2022 we formed the JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) council which is made up and driven by a group of our employees whose purpose is to support leadership in identifying and correcting systemic biases in our workplace that impede our ability to create a true culture of belonging.
