For the second year in a row, Women of the Vine & Spirits collaborated with Deloitte LLP to publish the first industry-specific Beverage Alcohol DE&I Study: Women Raising the Bar. This study established a standardized framework from which to measure company performance against DE&I benchmarks going forward. The fundamental goal was to support companies in their evaluation of leading practices and hold themselves accountable for building more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces.

Deloitte has significant experience creating DE&I reports, recognizing how critical diversity, equity and inclusion is to business performance. Challenges often lie in translating a nod of the head to the value of diversity, equity and inclusion into impactful actions. Through executive interviews, individual surveys and company-wide questionnaires, Deloitte performed an analysis and identified areas where the beverage alcohol industry is seeing positive change as well as areas to drive improvement. Including:
“From previous studies, we know that it will be over 100 years until we achieve gender equity in the workplace. Until now, Beverage Alcohol companies have relied on very limited data since most studies have included our industry as part of a broader food and beverage categorization. This baseline report on DE&I in Beverage Alcohol is helping inform leaders, allies, and the next generation on how to effectively fasten the pace towards equity, creating more inclusive workplaces and increasing your company's bottom line.” - Deborah Brenner, Founder & CEO of Women of the Vine & Spirits. |
