Our Differences Make the Difference
Our Differences Make the Difference
When it comes down to it, Commerce is just real people helping real people. Our customers are from a wide range of beliefs, races and cultures and so are our teammates. We encourage and embrace those differences because we believe it makes us stronger. We value, celebrate and leverage differences in - experience, thought, culture, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, religion and ability, among others.
Nurturing an inclusive and diverse workforce keeps us from seeing the world through tunnel vision and helps us innovate to better serve the needs of ALL our customers and communities. Our organization is really proud of that.
At Commerce, emphasizing our commitment to inclusion and diversity as a core component of our business strategy is one way in which we live our values. Because of this commitment, we are able to attract and retain top talent while more closely reflecting the markets we serve. It allows us to build long term, valuable relationships with both customers and suppliers, which drive efficiency and growth. Ultimately, we recognize that it places us in a stronger position for ongoing success as the demographics of our marketplace and world continue to change.
