Deluxe Champions ID&E Efforts, Inside and Outside the Company

Last month, Deluxe had the honor of hosting a group of Georgia State University (GSU) faculty, students and staff who were recipients of the university’s Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) Awards. As sponsors of this important recognition, Deluxe was invited to attend the award ceremony at Georgia State University’s Center Parc Stadium, followed by the opportunity to host the winners at our Customer Innovation Center in metro Atlanta. During this visit, the nominees and winners had the chance to interact with Deluxe leadership to learn firsthand how to collaborate with partners big and small to develop critical business solutions and to discuss ideas for attracting young, diverse professionals into today’s workforce. Additionally, the visit was an opportunity for Deluxe to share more about the ways we’re working with our employee-owners, partners, and clients around the world to promote and sustain a culture of inclusion, as well as to hear from the winners about how they’re supporting diversity across GSU’s campus. 

The goal of the Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) Awards is to increase the recognition of significant contributions of individuals and groups within the Georgia State University community who are committed to creating an inclusive environment. Deluxe’s decision to partner in this effort is rooted in our company’s deep belief in the Power of One – that we are always stronger together because of our individual, authentic selves. We celebrate our differences and relentlessly pursue a culture of inclusion, diversity, equity, and belonging. In furtherance of this principle, we regularly partner with organizations like GSU whose values closely align with our own.

Ranking 44th on Forbes America’s Best Employers For Diversity list, GSU is a leader in fostering diversity, equity and inclusion in its community and society at large. When Deluxe opened its Customer Innovation Center in metro Atlanta, we set out not only to build up this community, but also to build tomorrow’s payments and data ecosystem. As a company set on creating the next generation of Fintech and how we all experience it, Deluxe sees this as both a societal and business imperative. Designing a diverse team and collaborating with partners who do the same aids in the development of critical business solutions needed to solve modern challenges, so we understand that to innovate, we must focus on fostering a culture of inclusion and belonging in all that we do.
