2022 Social Equity Sprint

Congratulations, 2022 Social Equity Sprint Top Scorers!

Sustainable Pittsburgh is pleased to announce the Top Scorers of the inaugural Social Equity Sprint, a competition for businesses, organizations, and municipalities to jumpstart progress on social equity.

During the Social Equity Sprint, organizations across southwestern Pennsylvania competed against peers and took point-earning actions in areas covering operations, hiring and promotions, accessibility, procurement, and more. The competition ran from November 2022 through February 2023. Twenty-four participating organizations took more than 1,400 actions toward advancing social equity in their workplaces and communities.

Businesses in the top twenty-five percent for racial and ethnic diversity are 35% more likely to have bottom lines that outperform their peers. Overall, organizations with demonstrated diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies foster innovation, gain an edge for top talent, and see a correlation to stronger financial benefits. Municipalities that prioritize social equity not only enjoy these operational benefits but also build value for their residential and business communities via policies and plans that support accessible main streets; ensure affordable housing for all; celebrate cultural diversity through tourism, public art, and community events; and many others.
