Satya Nadella donates $1.5M for racial equality
By MYBRANDBOOK
On the news of the George Floyd case, racism has popped up its head now and is making an impact and news in certain parts of the world. And on the other hand, COVID-19 is still grabbing attention.
While the communities and government authorities were the ones reacting for now, the wave has hit the tech market space as well.
We have seen Twitter making efforts to hide and remove racist remarks from its platform and Reddit CEO asking to be replaced by a Black member on the board.
And now it is Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella who has talked about it in an emailed letter to employees. Nadella already issued a public statement on the matter in May but this time has pledged a donation of $1.5 million in total to organisations like Black Lives Matter Foundation, Equal Justice Initiative, Innocence Project, The Leadership Conference, Minnesota Freedom Fund and NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund.
In the email to employees, Nadella mentioned that going forward, there will be more diversity and inclusiveness in the country. “We created our Supplier Diversity program 15 years ago, so our supplier companies better reflected the diversity of our customers.
He also talked about how everyone, when working together on a cause, can make a difference. “We can't do it alone. I'm grounded in that, I realize that, but together I think we can, and we will drive change.”
We all have a role to play. I will do the work. The company will do the work. I am asking each of you to do the work. And together, we will help make the difference we want to see in the world, he concluded.
