DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION STATEMENT

Policy Statement

Diversity and inclusion is a core value of STONE DOOR GROUP, LLC, a Tennessee limited

liability company (the “Company”, “We”, “Our”, or “Us”).

As part of this policy, we are committed to a workplace culture that values and promotes diversity,

inclusion, equal employment opportunities, and a work environment free of harassment and hostility.

This includes:

  • Applying principles of equity and social justice to achieve equal employment opportunities for qualified individuals of all backgrounds.

  • Attracting, recruiting, retaining, engaging, supporting, developing, and advancing underrepresented and diverse employees, including women, people of color, LGBTQ individuals, and any other underrepresented employees.

  • Promoting respectfulness, cultural awareness, and inclusivity by:

    • fostering a collaborative work environment in which all employees participate and contribute;

    • empowering and providing a safe space for all employees to express themselves, exchange ideas, and feel heard; and

    • encouraging employees to be open and curious about others' experiences and perspectives.

Diversity and inclusion are related and equally important concepts. Diversity includes but is not

limited to differences in race, ethnicity, sex, gender, sexual orientation or identity, disability, religion, age,

national origin, military or veteran status, and other categories protected under state or local law.

Diversity also includes differences in backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, thoughts, interests, and

ideas. Inclusion means ensuring that all employees are valued, heard, engaged, and involved at work and

have full opportunities to collaborate, contribute, and grow professionally.

While We strive for equitable representation of employees, the purpose of this policy is not to

favor certain individuals or groups or have the effect of excluding other individuals or groups.

All leaders, managers, and employees play a role in making Us a diverse and inclusive place to

work for everyone. Please read this policy carefully and openly and make every effort to understand the

importance of diversity and inclusion and the ways we can accomplish these objectives together.

We are committed to developing and implementing programs and initiatives to promote diversity

and inclusion in all areas of employment. We are committed to evaluating existing programs and

adapting or introducing new initiatives as our diversity and inclusion goals evolve.

We always welcome suggestions from employees about how we can be more inclusive and

address and improve diversity issues. If you have any comments, concerns, or suggestions, please contact

the Human Resources Department. We prohibit retaliation against employees for making good faith

suggestions or complaints regarding Our diversity and inclusion efforts.

Disclaimer of Restrictions on Employees’ Rights

This policy is not intended to restrict communications or actions protected or required by state or

federal law.
