Celebrating the individual spirit of people and cultures leads to a deeper, richer understanding of the world around us. And as a global company with local roots, Vaco recognizes the inherent responsibilities to seek out what makes those we serve and our communities unique, and to promote inclusion.

Empowering transformation means change must start in our hearts first. Vaco’s commitment to social justice and reform began with the formation of our Inclusion, Diversity & Equity Cabinet (IDEC). Formed in 2020, Vaco’s IDEC promotes the continuous development of an inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment.

Vaco’s ongoing empathy-driven initiatives include:

- Training programs and reverse mentoring
- Diversity hiring, retention, and advancement
- Community involvement
- Cultural celebrations, inclusion surveys, and other programs
