At Fortra, we’re on a journey to empower organizations everywhere achieve their full potential. Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Council is committed to effecting meaningful change in our organization — change that will make us stronger, more innovative, and better able to build more equitable communities.

The right way to do this is to channel the passion, talent, and perspectives of a diverse team. We strive for equity for all and recognize we're better when we involve everyone, inclusive of age, sex, race, nationality, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, parental status, marital status, military service, disability status, neurodiversity, and all other qualities that create unique individuals.
