Our DEI strategy

We believe a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategy starts with creating a truly inclusive environment and grows by encouraging our employees to share their ideas and live by their ideals.

Our Employee
Resource Groups

In 2021, we formed our first Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). With these groups, organized by employees for employees, we foster a sense of community, provide a safe space for dialogue, and recommend ways AVI-SPL can better support its employees, culture, and communities.
