Black in Fashion Council and Human Rights Campaign release “Black In Fashion” Index
This week, the Black in Fashion Council (BIFC) and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) published the first-ever “Black in Fashion” Index, which “measures company policies and practices related to the inclusivity of Black employees,” according to a press release. The report places participating businesses in one of three tiers of recognition (Building Foundation for Inclusion, Foundation for Inclusion or Innovative Inclusion) based on their work in four categories: workplace nondiscrimination policies, inclusive culture building, engagement with the Black community and corporate social responsibility. BIFC co-founder Lindsay Peoples Wagner said, in a statement, that the “Black in Fashion” Index reflects “the vital work we have been doing behind the scenes to ensure that companies are putting inclusive policies into practice. So many companies have realized in the past year that it is not enough to post a black square or to post a quote on MLK Day — the work that we are invested in requires an infrastructural and culture change from companies to intensely interrogate their values and priorities when it comes to DEI.” You can read the full report here. {Fashionista Inbox}
