Next is a person holding a pride flag and behind them is a sign that reads, "Stand Up. Speak Out." And finally, there is a person holding their fist in the air.

Our History with Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

While Ethos officially launched in April of 2018, its true beginning was at the start of 2019. The organization was at a crossroads. Were we going to build Ethos into a firm that would “create the conditions for everyone to thrive at work?” Or, were we going to stay small, focusing on a handful of clients? We opted for the former for a few very important reasons.

Why We Create the Conditions for Everyone to Thrive at Work

+

We believe doing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging work alone is unethical.

+

We wanted to make a place with people who felt called to the same mission.

+

We want to help as many people as possible.

We know that our commitment to equity and belonging, in particular, will never be fully realized. We also know that with every new person we invite into our community, we increase our chances of building a better future, one focused on teaching love and scaling belonging.

In the illustration, the people are all around the logo, climbing on top and passing each other missing parts of the logo and putting them in their place.
