The focus on diversity continues to expand with a commitment to increasing the diversity of TD SYNNEX’s business partner ecosystem.
An important component of TD SYNNEX’s DEI program is its five Business Resource Groups (BRGs), which provide positive forums for co-workers to discuss common experiences and goals with individuals of like or similar interests. The company encourages the doubling of co-worker participation in these BRGs by 2025.
