Discover how incorporating identity can help your organization back up your diversity statement with concrete action — and benefit your bottom line.

If you’re reading this, it’s likely your brand has made or wants to make a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I). But how well do you understand the identities of your consumers?

Without a true understanding of identity, it will be impossible to fulfill a commitment to DE&I. Luckily, there are steps your brand can take to become more inclusive of consumers who have often been overlooked.

How brands benefit from being more diverse, equitable, and inclusive

The most obvious benefit of greater inclusivity is that brands open themselves up to reaching many more consumers, given the fact marginalized groups account for a significant portion of the population and market. On top of missed market opportunities, brands also risk losing their most potentially loyal customers.

The brands that succeed in understanding identity stand to gain significant financial benefits — but more importantly, they can be leaders in moving the needle on societal change.
