Greenleaf Trust Named an Inclusive Workplace by COLOR Magazine

Greenleaf Trust is proud to announce its selection as an Inclusive Workplace by COLOR Magazine in 2025.

Best Companies Group, in collaboration with COLOR Magazine, is proud to announce the recognition of businesses that have demonstrated exemplary commitment to fostering inclusivity and a sense of belonging in their work environments through the Inclusive Workplace Program. This acknowledgment is not a ranking or competition, but rather a celebration of organizations that surpass data-driven benchmarks to promote inclusivity.

The program, initiated in late spring, assesses participating companies through comprehensive surveys and data analysis. Areas of evaluation include inclusion, belonging, psychological safety, community and purpose. “This program highlights the real strides companies are making in cultivating inclusive cultures that help all employees feel valued and engaged,” said Jaime Raul Zepeda, Executive Vice President of Best Companies Group.

Recipients of this recognition have shown significant commitment to ensuring all their employees feel included, heard, and valued. Their commitment to inclusive work environments has had meaningful impacts on employee engagement, retention rates and brand recognition.

Best Companies Group extends its heartfelt congratulations to these businesses for their successful efforts in cultivating diverse and inclusive work environments. The dedication and effort of these organizations to foster inclusivity are commendable and sets a new standard for companies worldwide.

“These companies serve as an inspiring example of what it truly means to create a workplace where everyone feels like they belong and can bring their full selves to work. Their commitment and their actions are paving the way for a better and more inclusive future,” Zepeda added.

President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Odar commented, “At Greenleaf Trust, inclusivity isn’t just a checkbox; it’s our heartbeat. Inclusivity means our teammates can bring their unique selves to work and have it seen as an asset that makes us better.”

The organizations making up this list will be celebrated virtually and listed in the 2025 Top Inclusive Workplaces digital publication, published by Best Companies Group and COLOR Magazine.
