THE WISE COMMITMENT TO DEI
Women Impacting Storebrand Excellence (WISE) began in 2012 with a mission to increase diversity in the store brand industry. Our original mission was largely focused on increasing gender diversity and providing leadership tools for women. Today, the WISE organization has grown to 300 individual members and 48 partner companies. We are proud to say that WISE is described by our members as a safe space for important discussions on the advancement of women in our industry. For us, it’s an important recognition, but WISE wants to do more.
During a year of introspection, the WISE Board of Directors discussed at length what we wanted our organization to be moving forward, and how we wanted to contribute to the topic of diversity in the private label industry. Overwhelmingly, the Board wanted to expand our organization’s definition of diversity, and be more of a go-to resource for our members who also are championing workplace diversity.
In our effort to provide these resources, please review and utilize these resources, and check back often for new materials.
