Equity means more than treating everyone the same—it means ensuring everyone has a fair chance to succeed. While equality offers the same resources or opportunities to all, equity recognizes that not everyone starts from the same place. True equity involves identifying and removing systemic barriers that prevent some individuals or groups from fully participating or advancing.

For businesses, this means taking a closer look at hiring practices, workplace culture, access to leadership roles, and how products or services are delivered. It means asking important questions: Who might be left out? What barriers—visible or invisible—could be holding someone back?

This section is here to help your business take practical, informed steps toward equity. Whether you're reviewing policies, improving workplace accessibility, or creating pathways for advancement, you’ll find resources to guide you toward a fairer, more inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Because when equity is built into your foundation, your whole team—and your community—can grow stronger together.
