Greater Louisville Inc. strives to be an organization that exemplifies inclusion. We define inclusion as an environment where every business and individual is afforded the opportunity to succeed in the marketplace. This includes diversity of race and ethnicity, size of business, and regional and global geography. GLI works to represent all types of businesses: large and small, minority- and women-owned, and those located throughout the region and around the globe.
GLI makes every effort to ‘walk the talk’ when it comes to focusing on economic inclusion in our daily practices and policies. We are an open and welcoming organization and take deliberate steps to be inclusive with specific goals for staff diversity, board diversity, member diversity, and supplier diversity in our purchasing decisions. Success on each of these measures is tracked monthly on our balanced scorecard.
Supplier Diversity Program
In 2011, GLI’s supplier diversity program achieved unprecedented success on both women and minority spending that is reflective of our community.
