Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at ZBiotics

We’re committed to achieving true diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) at our company

Addressing systemic racism, sexism, gender discrimination, ableism, and other forms of discrimination in the workplace is the responsibility of all organizations – ZBiotics included. We are dedicated to DE&I because it is the right thing to do – for our society, our inclusionStory, and our customers, and our investors.

We also fundamentally believe that diversity and inclusion make a company stronger. Different backgrounds, perspectives, and styles enable a more comprehensive approach to problem-solving and enhance creativity. And a sense of belonging creates a more productive, interactive, and engaging environment in which to work.

Working with Beacon Group

At ZBiotics, we care deeply about inclusion not only in our own workplace, but as a part of the people we partner with. One of our key Supply Chain partners that exemplifies this value is Beacon Group.

Beacon Group provides real job training and employment opportunities to people with disabilities. Beacon is one of the largest employers of people with disabilities in Arizona and they currently serve more than 2,200 people with disabilities each year.

Beacon believes that the choice to work is essential in supporting the voices of people with disabilities and their choice to lead self-directed lives. Beacon offers programs and opportunities so people with disabilities can work and maintain employment. Beacon Groups helps people experience the satisfaction of achievement, contribution, and earning a paycheck.

Nearly two-thirds of working-age people with disabilities do not have a job. By partnering with Beacon and providing more jobs, we aim to support them in positively changing that statistic.

“Beacon Group is proud to partner with ZBiotics to create jobs for people with disabilities,” says Mitchell Eskritt, Director of Marketing and Development. “When businesses commit to an inclusive work environment, they can unlock unique benefits such as better morale, reduced turnover, and an improved bottom line.”

Thank you Beacon for all that you do for ZBiotics and letting us contribute to your mission.

2023 Volunteer Day

In 2023, ZBioneers engaged in our first company-wide volunteer action day. Even as a largely remote-first team, we were able to coordinate a day of simultaneous volunteer activity at some excellent organizations, including: 

The day was a big success for the team, and it inspired us to continue and build on it in 2024 — this time with a volunteer week. This way of doing things typifies how we act at ZBiotics: get started, even if it feels small at the time, then learn and grow and build on it the next time. Big things start small, and energy begets energy. We’re excited to see where this momentum takes us.

2023 Charitable Giving

One of our DE&I pledge commitments is a commitment to action. Among other things, that means donating.

One of the company benefits at ZBiotics is a charitable giving stipend for each employee of $300 per year. The money aside, a wonderful way this benefit manifests is to provide our team the opportunity to share organizations that we care about with each other. In 2023, we donated to a number of excellent nonprofit organizations, including the following:

We encourage you to check them out and donate yourself.

Our yearly pledge

DE&I rarely happens organically – it must be cultivated That’s why our team updates and recommits every year to our ZBiotics Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Pledge. The pledge ensures we hold ourselves accountable to a number of commitments:

  • Commitment to Amplifying Diverse Voices
  • Commitment to Education
  • Commitment to Diversity
  • Commitment to Action

In keeping with our commitment to transparency, we publish our self-assessed scores against our pledge goals to highlight the work happening behind the scenes. You can also find our pledges from previous years here.
