Diversity & inclusion

Diversity brings the best ideas to the table

Disabled woman leads group discussion

For us, inclusion is personal

As a woman-owned business, we believe deeply in the power of diversity and inclusion. Not only is it the right thing to do, morally and ethically, but it is a creative engine for widening your horizon and fostering new ideas.

Diversity of thought makes us stronger—we must create ponds where everyone can see their reflection.

Julie Sue Auslander
President/CCO

Diversity is not merely a business objective—it’s an imperative. From the information you access to the teams you assemble, diversity drives stronger ideas and fresh perspectives. Let’s build more seats at the table.

The impact of diversity and inclusion

Our people are our biggest asset. The culture we have built rewards thoughtful, dynamic people for their continued commitment to our company and our clients. Our diversity in thought, background, gender, and education is what enables us to see challenges from a myriad of perspectives—and provide unique, thoughtful solutions.

It's the smart thing to do

The best decision-making comes when you have the full participation from a wide variety of voices. This is true for the products and services we develop and how we engage with our customers.

It's the right thing to do

We are committed to making our teams, our industry, and our communities more equal and equitable. Our workplace is one where everyone should feel welcome and heard.

Representation is power

When we see ourselves represented in a company, we build empathy, connection, and trust. This is what we cultivate between our people and with our clients.

Knowledge is power

We are perpetual learners. Every voice here matters and can help shed light, provide context, or ignite the next big idea.

Diversity drives revenue

  • Diverse companies had 2.3 times higher cash flow per employee over a three-year period than non-diverse companies
  • Companies that have more diverse management teams have 19% higher revenue due to innovation

Building relationships with diverse suppliers and organizations over time is so important because both can provide a competitive advantage. Couranto, formerly cSubs, is committed to the value that diversity brings to their organization and their clients.
