“The last thing I would say, probably maybe more to the expected heartbeat of corporate America and our interest in shareholder value is that inequality has a direct impact on the quality of our economy. By one estimate, racial inequity alone costs our economy over $1 trillion. If we can use the legal system to help close the gaps in our economy, close the gaps in access to justice, close the gaps in access to basic human needs and rights, we can also make our economy run better and more effectively.”

“And we will be looking conscientiously at what we can do to expand our unconscious bias training to all associates and to make sure that every associate in The Home Depot feels that they have the opportunity to participate fully in all of the opportunities that The Home Depot provides.”

"Well, I think that in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd, we had something of a wake up call for a number of corporations in America who stepped up to their responsibilities to ensure equal access to justice and say what more can we do? A lot of that was turning inward for us at the Home Depot and looking at our diversity programs, looking at our inclusion programs, and seeing what we could do to accelerate our efforts. I'm in particular launching a series of caring conversations to deepen the conversations we were having with each other over issues of race and how race impacts the day to day lives of our associates. And I think a lot of us learned firsthand about the impact that the criminal justice system has on some of our associates and how they experience and how those experiences differ across different racial groups. We also doubled down our support for the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights to expand their very important work both in enforcing civil rights laws and also in election protection."
