OUR DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION JOURNEY

At RPIA, we are dedicated to fostering and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”) in our workplace as we believe including diverse perspectives is essential for making high-quality business decisions. We strive to maintain an environment where no one is denied opportunities for reasons unrelated to their performance. We celebrate and welcome the unique attributes of all employees, stakeholders, and external personnel to support our mission to cultivate diversity and inclusion across our organization. Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace Policy was published in 2021 to demonstrate our commitment to fostering an atmosphere where respect for each person’s dignity, ideas, and beliefs is consistently upheld. The policy summarizes the guidelines we expect each employee to follow regarding cultural competence, hiring and recruitment, and succession planning. It also outlines the various responsibilities at the individual, group, and committee levels to ensure that the policy is respected and our DEI goals are met. Our firm is committed to taking a consultative, thoughtful, and impactful approach in evolving this policy over time.

Measuring Representation

Women in the Workplace

RPIA’s hiring practices continue to evolve and adapt to the growing demands of the business and the increasingly diverse pool of talent. We are proud partners of organizations such as Women in Capital Markets (WCM), 100Women in Finance (100WF), and the 30% Club to ensure that our job opportunities reach members of historically marginalized and underrepresented groups. In line with the 30% Club’s signatory requirements, we have ensured that a minimum of 30% of our Executive Committee and Management Committee members are women, creating a more inclusive leadership structure. We firmly believe that this commitment not only enhances the representation of women within our organization but also promotes a culture that values diverse perspectives, fosters inclusive decision-making processes, and cultivates a supportive environment for all employees.
