Cowen Joins More Than 1,300 CEOs in Commitment to Advance Inclusion and Diversity in the Workplace
24 September 2020 - 5:00AM
Cowen Inc. (NASDAQ: COWN) today announced that Chair and CEO
Jeffrey M. Solomon joins more than 1,300 CEOs who have pledged to
take action to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace
through the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ coalition.
In signing the CEO Action Pledge, Cowen joins other leading
companies across the U.S. that commit to four areas of action:
continuing to cultivate workplaces that support open dialogue on
complex, and sometimes difficult, conversations about inclusion and
diversity; implementing and expanding unconscious bias education;
sharing lessons learned from the best known—and
unsuccessful—actions; and engaging their boards of directors in the
development and evaluation of inclusion and diversity
strategies.
“Advancing inclusion and diversity at Cowen is at the heart of
our values of Vision, Empathy, Sustainability and Tenacious
Teamwork,” said Solomon. “Taking the Pledge not only reaffirms
Cowen’s ongoing commitment to inclusion and diversity, but also
encourages others to do the same.”
Cowen believes that inclusion and diversity are important
catalysts for success and innovation in the workplace and are a
vital part of achieving its corporate objectives and key results.
Cowen has had a longstanding focus on creating a distinctive and
collaborative culture, in which everyone can thrive to their full
potential. Signature initiatives include “Women Who Outperform,”
the Cowen Inclusion Series, a program of CEO-led conversations with
diverse leaders from across industries, and innovative
theater-based, cross-cultural awareness and unconscious bias
training.
“We look forward to working with the other members of the
coalition to create positive change and innovation in the financial
services industry and beyond,” Solomon added.
