A - Organizational Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

its commitment by promoting diversity and inclusion in both employment and contracting and by
fostering an organizational culture that embraces diversity and inclusion. This leadership includes the
board of directors, senior officials, and staff managing the daily operations. The following best practices
demonstrate an organizational commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Enter your definition of diversity if it differs from the above definition

B - Workforce Profile and Employment Practices
Credit unions can promote the fair inclusion of minorities, women, or other diverse individuals in their
workforce by proactively working to expand applicant pools to include diverse candidates; cultivating a
culture that values the contribution of all employees; and encouraging a focus on inclusion when
evaluating the performance of managers. Common best practices to promote diversity and inclusion in

C - Procurement and Business Practices – Supplier Diversity
Credit unions can craft and implement supplier diversity policies and practices to expand outreach for
and open access to contracting opportunities to minority and women-owned businesses. This involves
providing opportunities for diverse businesses to bid on contracts or procurement activities (office
supplies, promotional items, and legal, auditing or accounting services, for example) and informing
diverse vendors of how to do business with your credit union. The goal is for the credit union to develop
a competitive advantage by having a broad selection of suppliers to choose from with respect to factors
such as price, quality, attention to detail, and future relationship building. Following are examples of
effective ways to implement or demonstrate a commitment to supplier diversity.

D - Practice to Promote Transparency of Organizational Diversity and Inclusion
Transparency and communications are essential aspects of assessing diversity policies and practices.
Transparency does not require you to share confidential or proprietary information. Credit unions can
communicate information about their diversity and inclusion efforts through normal business methods,
such as displaying information on websites, on appropriate promotional materials, and in annual
reports to members.
By communicating your commitment and plans for achieving diversity and inclusion and the metrics to
measure success in workplace and supplier diversity, you inform a broad constituency of current and
potential members, employees, suppliers and the general community about your efforts to promote
diversity and inclusion. The publication of this information can make new markets accessible for
minorities, women, and other diverse groups, and illustrate the progress made toward an important
business goal. Following are some ways to promote transparency of your credit union’s diversity and
inclusion efforts.
