Diversity, Equity and Inclusion commitments
DDP is committed to creating a workplace that is welcoming and inclusive of people from all walks of life because we know that a diverse team produces better results and better reflects the world in which we live and work. As such, we are dedicated to regularly reviewing our partner ecosystem and internal operations to ensure they are inclusive of our core values and diversity tenets.
