One Savage

“The secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”
– Socrates

Savage condemns racism and discrimination of any kind. We stand with those who want an inclusive society. While we don’t have all the answers, we commit to listen and learn more, teach and act more and to be more effective allies to those impacted by discrimination. We invite—and expect—all team members to join us. We’re committed to a culture where every team member is valued, appreciated and respected. The sum of our individual differences, life experiences, capabilities and talents creates and enhances our culture. We welcome our team members’ differences in age, race, color, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status and other characteristics.

We embrace differences and actively recruit, compensate, retain and develop team members who are appreciated for their uniqueness.

We are committed to creating an environment where our team members have equal opportunities, access and support to succeed and grow.

We strive to create an environment where all Savage team members feel valued for who they are and understand that their insights and experiences are what drives the company forward.

To create a more diverse and inclusive culture where team members have a sense of belonging, we’ll:

  • Engage with team members and individuals and organizations in our communities who can help us better understand how we can identify and eradicate inequities
  • Explore potential underlying assumptions that interfere with inclusiveness
