Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) has been a foundation at Point B since 1995, and we’re continuing on our journey to bring more listening, more understanding and more structure to every part of DEI at our company. We’ve learned that, through action, we can become a place where every person finds opportunity, acceptance and, ultimately, a home to become their true selves.
Point B will not stand for systemic racism, inequity or injustice. Anywhere. We are committed to being and acting for others. We are committed to listening, learning, understanding and taking tangible action to create change.
Our DEI Statement
We exist for the benefit of ALL people.
At Point B, the values behind Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are essential to lead human-centered transformations. They also enliven the future for our people, customers, and communities. We’re committed to attracting and retaining a diverse workforce—one that reflects the world outside our company. Our people’s varied experiences, skills and backgrounds help us drive innovation and enrich our communities.
Let’s be better every day.
From our Leadership Team to our Board of Directors to our next campus hire, Point B is constantly evolving to have our people see reflections of themselves in our teams and leadership by:
- Ensuring a selection process that seeks and values diversity
- Welcoming and implementing fresh perspectives
- Behaving inclusively, with open, honest reflection of ourselves and our systems
Point B thinks about DEI holistically, with a firm focus in the following areas:

Representation
We want our company to represent the places where we work. We’re building towards increased Black and Latinx representation among Point B associates, while setting supporting strategies for LGBTQ+, veteran and disability diversity dimensions.

Leadership
We’re taking tangible steps – including membership in the CEO Action Committee, a BIPOC sponsorship program, understanding and better capturing exit interview themes and creating goals tied to diagnosis, progress and ROI metrics – to increase representation of all racial/ethnic minorities in Point B leadership roles.

Community
Through supplier diversity programs, sponsorships, pro bono work with social justice organizations and minority-owned business, and board memberships, our teams aim to make a difference in the communities in which we live and work.
Taking a Stand – Inside and Out
In 2018, our leadership took an DEI important step when Point B’s CEO, Mike Pongon, joined the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion Coalition. In doing so, he signed its simple but powerful CEO Pledge to:
- Create and expand unconscious bias training.
- Share best practices.
- Create an environment that is open to dialogue about diversity and inclusion.
In 2020, Point B’s Lauren Wilkins became one of 250, full-time CEO Action for Racial Equity fellows and will help advance racial equity in the communities in which we live and work through public policy and process.
Fostering Resources
The people of Point B have built six Business Resource Groups to help us move forward on our DEI journey. These resource groups create communities of advocacy for associates and bring forth new ideas and opportunities for learning from and understanding each other. Our current Business Resource Groups include:
- bProud: LGBTQ+
- Women of Point B
- Blacks at Point B
- Black and Indigenous People of Color at Point B
- bAbled: Disability Diversity
- Point Bravo: Veterans at Point B
“My growth and development are results of an ecosystem of equity and diversity that’s been part of Point B from day one. I feel a personal responsibility to create for others the same types of opportunities I’ve been afforded here."
EJ Blanchfield, Chief Operating Officer
“In today’s world, it is impossible to consider yourself a leader if you aren’t willing to engage in difficult conversations or walk in someone else’s shoes. Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts are centered around ensuring that all Point B associates can thrive in an organization where they have a sense of belonging and ownership. This is only possible if we are willing to recognize where we have work to do, and then put actions in place to challenge the status quo.”Mike Pongon, Chief Executive Officer
