Deluxe’s Commitment to Inclusion, Diversity & Equity

Strategy
Deluxe recognizes inclusion, diversity and equity (ID&E) as an internal and external business imperative. We promote and sustain a culture of inclusion across the organization to strengthen our brand.

Vision
At Deluxe, inclusion, diversity and equity are authentically reflected in all that we do.

Mission
To empower people to bring their full authentic selves to work as One Deluxe and foster an environment that reflects the diverse communities we serve.
Employee Resource Groups
In 2020, Deluxe formed its Employee Resource Committee and established four Employee Resource Groups dedicated to fostering inclusion and diversity at Deluxe. In doing so, we have accelerated understanding across the Deluxe family and have expanded our own diversity and inclusion efforts.
In the same year, Deluxe added four new Employee Resource Groups, bringing the total number to eight. Additionally, each group has a dedicated member of our executive leadership team who champions the cause. Our executive leaders meet with their respective groups on a quarterly basis to offer support and share insight.
