Last fall, Layton’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) team officially launched its Trade Partner Equity Program (TPEP).

At STO Building Group, we understand the importance of a collaborative team and are committed to building a more diverse and inclusive workforce in our offices, on our jobs, and in our partnerships. Over the last year, STOBG’s Diversity & Inclusion Steering Committee (DISC) has continued to drive this change within our company through corporate initiatives, while individual STOBG business units developed local approaches to D&I, focused on fostering strong relationships with minority, women, and disability owned businesses in our field.

Policies aimed at improvement are important. They declare intentions and provide guiderails and parameters for action. But action is truly where change happens.
