We can each make a difference by embracing a culture where our people are safe, supported and heard.

Over the last several weeks, I’ve been shocked to see the surge of violence and intolerance around the world. Many of our global colleagues have reached out to share fear for their personal safety and that of their families.

We’ve seen a disturbing rise in antisemitic attacks globally, with no signs of abating. I want to be clear that at S&P Global, we condemn antisemitism and all other hate speech or expressions of prejudice. We respect every ethnicity, race, and religion. There is no place at S&P Global for discrimination, whether it be antisemitic, anti-Muslim, or any other bias. Such intolerance is against our values and is counter to everything we stand for. 

We can each make a difference by embracing a culture where our people are safe, supported and heard. Here are a few ways we’re taking action:

• Developing mandatory anti-hate training for all colleagues
• Increasing our social media screening for job candidates to identify hate speech or abusive language
• Continuing our Courageous Conversation series by bringing in outside speakers to encourage deeper learning and take the burden of education off our colleagues
• Organizing workshop sessions to build awareness on the history and far-reaching impact of antisemitism

There is always more we can do to support one another, and we’ll continue to look for ways to do so. I hope you will join me in standing against hatred and working to build greater understanding and inclusion.

Regards,
