Diversity, equity, and inclusion

Our differences make us stronger

Our goals and commitment to progress

Creating an environment where crew can thrive

Meeting of several individuals reflecting on Vanguard’s commitment to diversity.
Vanguard is making progress on achieving our diversity goals. We are particularly encouraged by the strides we have made in the advancement of women in leadership positions. As of year-end 2022, women held 44% of our leadership positions. In addition, women compose 27% of our board of directors, 38% our company’s principals or senior-level leaders, and 25% of our executive management team. People of color currently represent 25% of our leaders, 18% of our board of directors, 24.2% of our principals, and 25% of our executive management team. While more work needs to be done, we are moving forward with our goal of having a more diverse workforce.
