Cultivate an inclusive environment starts from the inside
In 2020, we created a Diversity Committee and four affinity groups to address initiatives focused on the specific needs of each community. Our affinity groups are based on four different pillars: race, ethnicity, and culture; gender equality; LGBTQIA+ and people with disabilities.
They exist globally but act locally, understanding that diversity and inclusion have their agenda depending on where you are in the world. Our team is located in 18 locations around the world, so we want to make sure they have the autonomy they need to propose actions that are based on their life experiences.
Cultivating inclusion, belonging, and allyship
To impact society, we must be in the playing field to promote the changes we want to see. And this commitment is extended to the diversity, inclusion, and equity areas.
At VTEX, we believe that we can impact society where we are potent: the knowledge of digital commerce. So, education is our chosen instrument of social impact. Tetrix, Hiring Coders, Digit.all and Black Tech Writers are some of VTEX’s annual programs.
Digit.all is a global initiative to bring more diversity to the digital commerce market through free training and enablement of professionals from minority groups, with programs in the areas of ecommerce, legal tech, sales and leadership.
