AN UPDATE ON OUR PROGRESS
Over the past several months, like so many of you, I’ve seen the impact of systemic racism through a new lens. It’s impossible for me not to feel deeply pained by the tremendous suffering caused by our nation’s discriminatory policies, exclusive attitudes and acts of violence. Earlier this month, 23-year-old Casey Goodson Jr. was fatally shot by police at his home. Casey was one of our own employees and had joined the Gap Inc. family just a few months ago. I believe the only appropriate feelings in the immediate aftermath of this tragic loss are grief and frustration. The only appropriate action, however insufficient it might feel in the moment, is to demand and create change.
Earlier this year, we laid out our commitments to enable a culture of belonging for our teams, customers and communities and while this work takes time, we’re making progress. Never have I been more aware of my own privilege, as well as my own racial trauma – both deepening and accelerating my commitment to strengthen our company’s culture through investment in greater inclusion and belonging for all.
Arriving at true racial equality will be a journey. This is only an update – change takes time and maniacal focus, and we’re invested for the long-term. I’m committed to sharing our progress quarterly on this page as we continue to deliver on our promise.
I encourage you to explore what we’ve been up to and what transformational work lies ahead.
