**Statement**

Ensuring diversity, inclusion and opportunity are integral commitments to the vision and values of Curaleaf.

**Purpose**

Our purpose is to continue to make progress towards building, maintaining and promoting a workforce that reflects diversity, inclusion, supplier diversity and opportunity in this ever-changing industry and communities we proudly serve.

Talent Management & Diversity

Diversity and inclusion is a strategic approach to recruitment that accepts and includes all team members including people of color, women, people with disabilities and veterans, as well as any other group of individuals regardless of their beliefs, religions, perspectives, values, political views or sexual orientation. Curaleaf aims to adopt diversity initiatives that do not simply look to prevent workplace discrimination but also aim to achieve a wider range of outcomes.

In July 2020, Curaleaf held its first DEI Task Force meeting, bringing together senior leadership, managers and state team members–all with the same hunger for brainstorming and idea sharing on ways that Curaleaf could become an even more diverse and inclusive company for our team member,s our patients and our customers.

This task force informed our plan of action, including identifying which Employee Resource Groups were most needed; which team members had interest in forming our workforce development and supplier diversity subcommittees; and how team members want to see Curaleaf handle important cultural moments. 

The goals accomplished so far by the DEI Task Force include: 
- Creation of five Employee Resource Groups that bring a sense of belonging and inclusion to our 5600+ team members.
- Launch of two subcommittees, focused on workforce development and supplier diversity. 
- Piloting of company’s first ever leadership development course, completed by more than 60 team members.
- Determination of supplier diversity efforts and practices baseline for more efficient system and program implementation.

Diversity Initiatives

Led by our Talent Management and Diversity team, themed months are scheduled for all team member participation, engagement and recognition. We also host weekly Employee Resource Group meetings specific to the communities and allies of: BIPOC, women, working parents, LGBTQ+ and community volunteerism. In addition to our Employee Resource Groups, our team conducts weekly pulse checks and solicit feedback from team members to capture real-time engagement and strategy to address and/or uplift for additional recognition.
