As part of its analysis of sustainability maturity across the telecom industry, STL Partners explores company progress around diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I), explained the consultancy’s Research Director Amy Cameron during the opening session of the most recent Women in Telco event.
When assessing a company’s DE&I efforts, Cameron said, gender is only one aspect taken into account. “The other things that we look for … are things like … ethnic minority representation across their workforce or … the representation of people with disabilities,” she shared, adding that sometimes other criteria like age or representation of LGBTQ+, are also considered.
