JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon stands out for openly supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives amidst a broader CEO retreat on these issues. Dimon emphasized in his shareholder letter the business benefits and moral imperatives of DEI programs, highlighting efforts like employee resource groups, funds for entrepreneurs of color, and recruitment at HBCUs. Despite past lawsuits prompting DEI investments, Dimon's defense of these programs as crucial for business and societal progress reflects a deep integration of DEI into JPMorgan's operations, aimed at enhancing corporate culture and economic inclusivity. This ongoing commitment showcases the enduring relevance of DEI in financial sectors. Read more: https://shorturl.at/duwH5

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, is taking a stand on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

FINALLY, a CEO who stands up to defend DEI. In corporate America, many companies have quietly stepped back from their diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives amidst growing criticism. Yet, in his recent shareholder letter Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, expressed a clear commitment to DEI, demonstrating how it's not only the right thing to do but also a smart business strategy. The bank has championed various programs ranging from support groups for diverse employees to initiatives that boost entrepreneurs from underrepresented backgrounds, and a $30 billion racial equity commitment. By actively building a diverse and inclusive environment, JPMorgan Chase is able to attract a wider talent pool and expand its customer base, both of which are crucial for long-term success. This stance resonates deeply with my own views on DEI and ESG efforts. We must recognize that embracing diversity isn’t just a moral obligation – it enhances business resilience and innovation. In a time when many shy away from these important discussions, it’s heartening to see renowned leaders like Dimon defend and advance #DEI. Their actions help bridge socioeconomic gaps and strengthen our economy at large. We need to continue to support and prioritize these initiatives to ensure fair opportunities for everyone to succeed.

In a world where actions often fall short of promises, Jamie Dimon's recent shareholder letter is a breath of fresh air. Under his leadership, JPMorgan Chase & Co. isn't just talking the DEI talk—they're walking the walk and then some. Amidst a landscape shy of commitment to DEI initiatives, Jamie Dimon stands out by not only championing these efforts but also embedding them deeply into the bank’s DNA. This isn't just about expanding a customer base or tapping into the best talent—it's about rectifying long-standing societal disparities and opening doors of opportunity for all. He reaffirms that integrating DEI into the heart of business operations is both an ethical imperative and a crucial driver of future growth. Kudos to Jamie Dimon for not only setting a high bar but also showing the industry how it's possible to aim even higher. This exemplifies how businesses can be powerful platforms for positive societal impact. https://lnkd.in/gx6JpezF

I agree with everything JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon had to say about DEI in this Fortune article, except the "I'm not woke anything" part. I'm woke. But here are a few things that stood out to me: 1️⃣ "Don't lump it together." Say it louder for the folks in the back! Please do not conflate diversity data. Which brings me to the next point... 2️⃣ Once they separated the workforce numbers, what did he find? "Women? Excellent. Hispanic? Excellent. LGBT? Excellent. Asian American? Excellent. Black? Average.” I humbly request the same be done for Supplier Diversity data. What is your Black #supplierdiversity spend? Not your "minority" spend. BLACK. 3️⃣ When high level Black employees were leaving after not receiving promotions and Jamie inquired why, it was because the employee didn't have a big enough "platform." Platform meant "enough direct reports -- to warrant the higher position." To that Jamie said "I'd never heard the word 'platform' used except when we were promoting a Black person." Stop moving the goal post on Black employees and invest in their leadership development! 4️⃣ Jamie discovered that there are 107 HBCU's and admits that #JPMC had only been recruiting from ~3. They've now expanded to 26. But this leaves 81 untouched. When we talk about merit based hiring and not having a large enough Black talent pool, there are at LEAST 81 more places to look. I commend Jamie Dimon and JP Morgan Chase for not backing down and hope they can find a way to support other corporations in this battle. Overall, I just wish he was a little more open to being woke 🙂

Diversity and inclusion makes business sense! And this is not me saying but the CEO of the biggest bank, Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan. “Reaching more communities, for example, means growing the customer base. Casting a wider net to find talent means you're finding the best people. Helping entrepreneurs succeed is a way of creating more business for the bank down the line.” Of course we should be inclusive purely for ethical reasons. But it doesn’t hurt to have practical reasons as well. #dei #inclusion #FutureOfWork #ResponsibleBusiness https://lnkd.in/ekf_uBDR

At least six major U.S. companies including JPMorgan Chase have modified policies meant to boost #racial and #ethnic representation that conservative groups threatened to sue over, a Reuters review of corporate statements has found. The companies are among 25 that received public shareholder letters since 2021 claiming their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs constitute illegal discrimination and a breach of the directors' duties to investors. The changes made by the companies primarily involved removing language that said certain programs were for underrepresented groups or modifying executives' goals for increased racial representation in the workforce.
