CEO Mike Gordon joins coalition to advance equality in business community

By signing on to this commitment, Altus Group is pledging to continue to cultivate a workplace where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and where employees feel encouraged to discuss diversity and inclusion.

“We are committed to fostering and preserving a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion where employees can openly address challenges, present opportunities, and share perspectives,” said Mike Gordon, CEO of Altus Group. “The unique experiences that each employee brings with them to work helps contribute to the growth, success and innovative spirit that has made Altus Group a strong business that continues to lead the commercial real estate industry.”

“We’ve made great strides to promote diversity, equity and inclusion across the company – and there is more to be done. With this pledge, I commit to continuing to make Altus Group a trusting place, to have complex and sometimes difficult conversations about diversity, equity and inclusion, expand our unconscious bias education, be guided by best practices, and to engage with our Board of Directors and stakeholders on DEI to be held accountable for our progress. I’m proud to be the executive sponsor of our DEI Committee and look forward to continuing our efforts to make Altus Group an employer of choice,” added Gordon.

With this pledge, Altus Group is taking a step towards effecting positive change by expanding its DEI strategy. A diverse and inclusive workforce facilitates community, but also drives innovation and creativity. A recent study found that 85 percent of those surveyed reported that diversity is a key component to fostering innovation. The collective of nearly 2,000 signatories have already shared more than 1,400 best known actions, exchanging tangible learning opportunities and creating collaborative conversations via the initiative’s unified hub, CEOAction.com.
