ViacomCBS has committed $5 million to social justice causes, set a virtual community day for June 18th and is preparing to announce new members of its combined global inclusion advisory committee, …
Media and entertainment companies have contributed cash and also taken a series of measures over the past ten days to honor, who was killed by police in Minneapolis last week, sparking of a wave of national outrage and protests. Nickelodeon and other ViacomCBS cable channels went dark for a period on Black Tuesday, along with much of the indusry, to honor Floyd. That day, ViacomCBS offered online counseling sessions for staffers.
Our efforts to amplify the voices of Black communities, condemn systemic racism, and honor George Floyd and other victims of racial injustice are only a handful of the actions we’re taking to stand up for what’s right – and it’s so important our company has responded and rallied over the past two weeks.
Global Inclusion Advisory Committee – Comprised of leaders from across the company, GIAC helps to guide and oversee our companywide D&I initiatives in partnership with the Global Inclusion team. We will be announcing the new appointees from our combined companies in the coming weeks. Thanks again to the senior leaders who have agreed to serve.
Data + Metrics – Building on work done at legacy Viacom, we are in the process of developing dashboards to provide an overview of new hires, promotions and terminations through the lens of gender and ethnicity, which will be reviewed every quarter; in addition, we will be sharing our diversity and inclusion metrics publicly in the coming months.
In addition, over the past two years, we have given over $12 million to organizations that support and impact communities of color, and we are committing an additional $5 million today to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Equal Justice Initiative, Amnesty International, National Bail Out, The Bail Project, Community Coalition and others in support of their tireless work to ensure equality and justice.
