Inclusive Diversity & Equity

Putting our principles into practice

Everyone deserves to live a life well protected – and everyone has a right to participate and prosper in an equitable society.

Inclusive Diversity & Equity (IDE) is a core value at Allstate, and it's our purpose-driven employees who bring it to life.

Our multi-year IDE strategy expands existing efforts for hiring, talent development, investing and supplier diversity. We embrace diverse perspectives, experiences and engagements that contribute to a more inclusive place to work.

Allstate's diverse workforce helps move the company forward. We are, in essence, a reflection of our customer base. I think it's great that Allstate's employee base reflects the people it's serving.

Building a diverse and equitable workforce —

Inclusive diversity & equity values are part of who we are as Allstate employees. We know we are stronger because of our differences, and we celebrate them.

Allstate supports and funds Employee Impact Groups (EIGs), where employees with a shared interest can connect, collaborate and develop. EIGs help drive Allstate's inclusive culture and help inform business practices.

Driving societal change —

Part of Allstate's legacy is to challenge convention and take the first step on a new path. In 2020, we became the first corporate issuer to select exclusively minority, women and veteran-owned firms to lead a $1.2 billion bond sale.

There's still a lot of work to be done to eliminate inequity. A wealth gap exists in our communities, and Black families are some of the most affected.

Allstate partnered with OneTen in 2020 – a mission-driven organization aiming to close the opportunity gap in America. They're working to upskill, train, hire and promote talent without four-year college degrees for family-sustaining careers.

We also joined the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge. Nearly 2,000 CEOs have pledged to foster inclusive workplaces, expand diversity training and share what they've learned across industries to help build a more just and equitable world.

Working with diverse suppliers —

Supplier diversity is a priority at Allstate. We work with historically underutilized businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, disabled veterans, LGBTQ+ people and persons with disabilities.

Supplier diversity at Allstate

$5.6 billion

Spent with diverse suppliers since 2004.

In 2020, we began a five-year commitment to double our annual spending with diverse suppliers. According to an Allstate economic impact study, one dollar spent with diverse suppliers drives approximately twice that amount in economic production and supports more than 3,500 jobs throughout the supply chain.
