And that requires a workforce, leadership team and board of directors as diverse and inclusive as the customers and communities it serves. We take this very seriously at AT&T. We know that a diversity of perspectives, experiences and backgrounds is an incredibly powerful way to unlock new ideas and better understand the needs of others. That’s why we work so hard to recruit, develop and listen to diverse talent. Today, our workforce is nearly 44 percent people of color and 33 percent women. And our employee resource groups and employee networks are among the most engaged and effective anywhere. We’re proud that our diversity and inclusion efforts have been recognized. DiversityInc ranked us third on its Top 50 Companies for Diversity list in 2017 and 2018. Last year, Fortune and the Great Place to Work® organization together named us one of the Best Workplaces for Diversity. And we also were named to Bloomberg’s Gender-Equality Index. While there is always more we can do, we are committed more than ever to being one of the leaders in diversity and inclusion. This annual report captures the results of our efforts. Thank you for reviewing it. RANDALL STEPHENSON CHAIRMAN & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER INTRODUCTION EMPLOYEES COMMUNITIES CUSTOMERS SUPPLIERS APPENDICES 2018 AT&T DIVERSITY & INCLUSION ANNUAL REPORT / 5 A Message From Our Chief Diversity Officer Welcome to our milestone fifth AT&T Diversity & Inclusion Annual Report! This edition highlights our many 2018 accomplishments, and more importantly, how diversity and inclusion are woven into our everyday life across AT&T. You see it everywhere – informally through our programs that invite employees to share their diverse backgrounds with each other, formally through our many partnerships to encourage underserved students into STEM careers, and continuously through our best-in-class employee groups as they serve our workforce and communities. Our diverse and inclusive culture grows stronger each year because we embrace new ideas, encourage innovation, challenge assumptions and disrupt the status quo. Now, more than ever – as a company and as a society – we must forge a path beyond tolerance to understanding and realize all that we can accomplish by respecting one another and working together. I hope you agree with me that this annual report captures such spirit and teamwork.
