At Dentons, inclusion, diversity and equity are core to our business strategy, essential to the success of our people and instrumental in our ability to offer the best solutions for our clients. On International Women’s Day, and every day, we acknowledge and celebrate the extraordinary leadership and vital contributions that women make in driving our success at Dentons.

This year’s International Women’s Day’s #InspireInclusion theme reminds us that collective effort is essential to the creation of a more inclusive and equitable world. We celebrate our colleagues and clients who prioritize inclusion, diversity and equity, who are committed to making real change in the workplace and in our broader communities.

During International Women’s Month, we acknowledge our colleagues and clients who advance inclusion, diversity and equity in their roles and raise awareness, promote understanding and drive real change within our communities. With more than 50% of our colleagues identifying as women, at Dentons we recognize the particular responsibility we have to ensure women are full and equal participants in the life and business of the Firm; are empowered to pursue their career ambitions and realize their full potential; and play an integral role in, contribute to and benefit from relationships with our clients.

“Although the work is ongoing, in the past year we have made significant progress in driving inclusion and advancing women across the Firm, because working together to advance gender equity benefits all of us, and our clients," said Elliott Portnoy, Dentons' Global CEO. "It’s not enough to simply talk about inclusion; we need to inspire it and action it – together, everywhere.”

"Launching and driving numerous global programs to advance the women of Dentons is a continuous strategic priority", said Kate Broer, Global Inclusion and Diversity Officer of Dentons. "We recently held our second annual Firmwide Inclusion Month program which garnered record participation from every region across the firm. When we are inclusive, we all win."

In honor of the day, and throughout the month of March, we invite you to watch, listen to and read stories from Dentons colleagues about actions that #InspireInclusion shared on our Dentons LinkedIn and Instagram pages as well as on our Global Hub. We urge our colleagues, clients and communities to reflect on the actions that can be taken to acknowledge the contributions that women make and to further our shared commitment to #InspireInclusion.
