DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

Leadership Commitment

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion begins with our CEO, Phil Snow, and the entire FactSet leadership team.  As part of our diversity and inclusion efforts, we hold our leaders accountable for measuring progress and setting expectations for a diverse workforce and inclusive culture that is critical to our continued success.

Our senior leaders also serve as Executive Sponsors for our Business Resource Groups or employee networks. As Sponsors, they provide visible commitment and actionable support for Business Resource Groups and increase and support overall diversity at FactSet by modeling the way forward.

Business Resource Groups (BRGs)

BRGs are company-sponsored and employee-led communities with a mission to champion the full participation of our employees at all levels. While each BRG focuses on a specific dimension of diversity, they are all guided by our core value of inclusion and open to all employees, regardless of their cultural backgrounds, sexual orientation, or origin. In fact, we encourage participation from all employees.

Our Business Resource Groups (BRGs) are one of many diversity initiatives championing the full participation and inclusion of FactSetters. BRGs support the recruitment, development, and retention of our diverse talent with participation open to all employees. FactSet supports the beside employee networks.

Diversity Pillars

We continue to evolve diversity in the workplace and our inclusion strategy by focusing on our leaders’ visible commitment, developing and implementing a diversity recruiting strategy, retaining and advancing our diverse talent pipeline, and continuing to foster an inclusive culture. FactSet’s leadership is committed to cultural diversity and corporate social responsibility, which is built around these pillars.

Recruitment

The core of our diversity and inclusion strategy is a focus on hiring the best and brightest diverse candidates who contribute talent, unique perspectives, and experiences to our company.

We have implemented a robust diversity-recruiting strategy focusing on increasing our diversity sourcing and hiring globally. As part of the overall talent acquisition strategy, we continue to expand our pool of universities and deepen our diversity networks and external partnerships. In addition, we maintain progress in measuring and strengthening our recruitment practices knowing our goal is to have a positive impact and an inclusive workplace.
