Diversity
An Integral Part of Our Business

At Verizon, Diversity means embracing differences and variety including age, ethnicity, education, sexual orientation, work style, race, gender and more. When diversity is a part of a company’s culture, as it is at Verizon, everyone benefits – customers, suppliers and employees.

Diversity isn’t just a concept at Verizon. It’s an integral part of our business. Diversity drives everything from work force development and supplier relationships to economic development, marketing and philanthropy. And Verizon’s Code of Business Conduct clearly spells out what we expect from employees when it comes to valuing and respecting the diversity of others.

Our commitment to diversity begins at the top of our company, and we measure our progress like any other business objective. Executives are accountable for promoting diversity within their organizations. They are rewarded for successes through a performance incentive linked to their short-term compensation.
