Inclusion and diversity (I&D) is a core part of our business, and it's embedded into the fabric of our organization. For more than 95 years, Gallagher has led with a commitment to sustainability and to support the communities where we live and work. Gallagher embraces the diverse identities of our employees, including race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, religion, and visible or invisible disabilities, among many others.

We believe that by valuing and appreciating these unique qualities, experiences and talents, we can provide exceptional service to our clients and make a positive impact in our communities. We see inclusion as a conscious commitment and diversity as a vital strength. By embracing diversity in all its forms, we live out The Gallagher Way to its fullest.

“
The whole idea of an inclusive culture is about bringing different perspectives around the table to better serve our clients.
J. Pat Gallagher, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
