By Mike Walsh, CEO – June 19, 2020As the world grieves the brutal murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Sean Reed, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and too many more, LexisNexis stands firmly against racism and discrimination.
We have had an outpouring of ideas from our colleagues around the world for how we can build meaningful and impactful action plans to support our Black employees and communities.
We are focusing on three areas, guided by our mission to advance the rule of law and our overall Diversity & Inclusion strategy:
And we must ensure there are ample opportunities for Black professionals to succeed at all levels at LexisNexis, especially in leadership positions.
Eliminate systemic racism in our legal systems.
LexisNexis' highly active Employee Resource Groups, including the African Ancestry Network, along with our Diversity & Inclusion program and the LexisNexis Rule of Law Foundation are instrumental in converting the passion and good intention of our people into pragmatic action.
We must do more to eradicate racism where it exists and ensure equality for all under the law, transparency of law, independent judiciaries, and accessible legal remedy.
