DE&I

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Charles River Associates is committed to reviewing and enhancing our policies, processes, and systems to ensure our firm is as diverse and dynamic as possible. In 2021, we hired our first Chief Inclusion and Engagement Officer and our CEO, Paul Maleh, joined more than 2,000 peers in signing the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge. We have also launched dozens of initiatives aimed at showcasing the diversity of our organization and our inclusive culture.

Employee Resource Groups

Our employee resource groups (ERGs) were created to give our team members a forum to share their experiences, perspectives, and insights. Our ERGs include:
