Subject: Note from Mark Th=mpson: The New York Times Company Signs on to CEO Action for Diversity &am=;
Inclusion
To: All Company Employee
Dear Colleagues,
Diversity is core to our mission and it's the=right thing to do for our business. That is why you've heard A.G.,=me
and other company leaders talk about our commitment to continued progre=s on diversity and inclusion. We're at work
on an action plan and =ill share more details before the end of the month.
But today I want to tell you about one specific d=velopment on this topic — which is our decision to sign The
New Yo=k Times Company up to the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion. <https://www.ceoaction.com/> I'm personally
delighted to be representing =he Times in this initiative and particularly pleased that the idea bubbled=up from one of
our Employee Resource Groups, Black@NYT. Many of our best i=eas are starting this way.
=EO Action was launched last year and more than 350 organizations have alre=dy signed on to their pledge,
which is to act on supporting more inclusive=workplaces and cultivating environments where all ideas are welcomed
and e=ployees feel comfortable and empowered to discuss diversity and inclusion.=A central part of the pledge is a
commitment for each member company to pu=lish data about diversity in their workforce. We will do that, starting
in=2018, so that we and you, and the wider world, can track our progress year=by year.
Last week, I sat d=wn with Tony Prophet, the chief equality officer at Salesforce, and a grou= of our employees.
Salesforce is a participating partner in CEO Action and=has just been ranked number one on Fortune's "=00 Best
EFTA_R1_01655481
EFTA02519349
Companies to Work For" list. We talked about what Salesforce is doing ri=ht diversity-wise — and ways we can
implement similar methods; the=importance of data-driven change in our endeavor; and our obligation to ea=h other
and to the world.
Building relationships with leaders like Tony is precisely why l&#=9;m excited to have The Times join CEO Action.
As a member organization, w= will have unprecedented access to diversity and inclusion leaders and dat= and insights
behind the corporate world's best practices for diversit= to inform what's worth trying here.
In the meantime, please do reach out to me or any other membe= of leadership if you have thoughts or ideas on
ways we can work together =o continue to improve our culture.
Mark
