HowGULF Diversity & Inclusion Pledge

At HowGULF, we believe that true innovation and success are rooted in diversity. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion goes beyond words—it’s ingrained in the fabric of our company culture, guiding every decision we make. We pledge to create an environment where all voices are heard, all perspectives are valued, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Our Commitment

1. Diversify Our Team

We are dedicated to building a team that reflects the diverse world we serve. By the end of 2025, we pledge that 30% of our workforce, including leadership roles, will be comprised of individuals from underrepresented communities. We will actively recruit from diverse talent pools and ensure that our hiring practices are inclusive and equitable.

2. Inclusive Content Creation

Our content should resonate with all our audience members, reflecting the rich tapestry of experiences, cultures, and viewpoints that make up our global community. We commit to ensuring that at least 25% of our content is created by, or in collaboration with, individuals from diverse backgrounds. This includes writers, photographers, videographers, and subject matter experts.

3. Continuous Education

We recognize that true inclusion requires ongoing learning. All HowGULF employees will participate in regular training on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), covering topics like unconscious bias, cultural competence, and inclusive leadership. We will also facilitate open discussions to ensure our team continually grows in understanding and empathy.

4. Auditing Our Content and Practices

We will conduct a thorough audit of our existing content, policies, and practices to identify and address any areas of bias or exclusion. This audit will be completed by the end of 2025, and we will make necessary adjustments to ensure that our platform is welcoming to all. Additionally, we will establish an internal DEI review board to oversee ongoing efforts.

5. Foster Community Engagement

Beyond our internal efforts, we believe in the power of community. We will partner with organizations that promote diversity and inclusion within the Gulf region and beyond, offering support through funding, collaboration, and volunteerism. We aim to make a tangible impact on the communities we serve by participating in initiatives that uplift marginalized voices and create opportunities for all.

Accountability and Transparency

We understand that these commitments require accountability. We will regularly publish updates on our progress and encourage feedback from our community. Your input is invaluable, and we invite you to share your thoughts and suggestions with us at [email protected].

Together, we can build a more inclusive and equitable future. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. Read About our Privacy Policy here.
