As a leading, post-production company and global network of studios that prides itself on the creativity and innovation of our employees, we recognize that diversity, equity, and inclusion are not simply buzzwords or boxes to be checked off on a list, but key values to inform our actions, decisions, and priorities every day. Our commitment to living these values starts with our executive leadership team, including myself, and it is our collective hope that Company 3 / Method Inc. sets the standard for this critical work within our industry. We know that creativity has diversity at its core, and therefore, we have invested in a variety of programs, initiatives, partnerships, and policies that aim to build a strong company culture – a culture that empowers our employees to show up authentically at work and a culture that attracts talent from all backgrounds and experiences. Through these investments in our culture, we want to provide our employees, present and future, with meaningful, rewarding opportunities that enhance their career. As a company, our efforts in the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion push us to do and be better, and I wholeheartedly thank our employees, clients, and communities across the globe for taking part in this critical journey with us.

As our society continues to unpack its understanding of the full impact of social injustice, we at Company 3 / Method Inc. have made the conscious decision to hold ourselves stringently accountable for the role we choose to play during this important moment in history. The year 2020 was a pivotal year of reckoning for so many individuals and organizations alike. Each was challenged to truly assess what they are capable of and what they believe. While a global pandemic, civil unrest, and political divides have illuminated the work that still needs to be done, they have also given us a glimpse of what we can achieve when we work together as a community. As an organization, not only are we dedicated to fostering an environment where every employee feels empowered and safe to show up to work, fully as themselves, we are also committed to being a good partner to the communities which we call home. The programs, initiatives, partnerships, and policies that we have implemented and continue to develop help us move closer to these goals each day. Our commitment to our employees and to our communities is reflected in each of our endeavors. We share with you this summary of our initiatives as a sampling of our continued work toward creating the most equitable, diverse, and inclusive workplace possible.

Creativity has diversity at its core. We celebrate the value of each unique experience by being dedicated to fostering the most diverse, equitable and inclusive culture where every employee feels empowered and safe to show up to work as their full self.
