Diversity & Inclusion

Innovation Through Inclusion

We are committed to building sustainable, inclusive structures and places for our clients, partners, and all people at our firm. We achieve excellence by leading with empathy and respect and believe innovation comes from empowering the voices of all our people and the communities we serve.

At Walter P Moore, we continuously collaborate with firm leadership to enhance policies that foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. Recent initiatives, such as updated parental leave policies, Martin Luther King Jr. Day observance, and the option to include pronouns in email signatures, reflect our commitment to celebrating diversity, supporting employees, and respecting individual identities. Through these efforts, we strive to create a culture where diversity is both embraced and celebrated.

The DEI Council leads strategies through five key pillars, ensuring accountability and impactful action across the firm. These pillars drive diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, both in the short term and as part of our long-term commitment to corporate social responsibility. We strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone is valued, and we leverage our expertise to address global challenges, making meaningful contributions to a more equitable society.
