Throughout Swinerton’s history, we have been committed to the promotion of diverse and inclusive projects that cultivate and stimulate lasting relationships within our local communities. Each of our division’s efforts has resulted in proudly meeting and often exceeding our annual goal of 20% participation with small and disadvantaged business enterprises, including those owned by women, minorities, veterans, LGBTQ+, and disabled persons. Over the last five years, Â黨ÐÇ¿Õmvhas awarded nearly $3.6 billion to small and historically underutilized businesses.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Swinerton’s Diversity Program History<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Dating back 30 years, our Diversity Program has been a testament to our commitment to supplier diversity and is a reason why we are a known industry leader. We have been a member of the National Association of Minority Contractors (NAMC) for over 25 years.\u00a0\u00a0Outreach is not just a program, it\u2019s in our DNA through a commitment to the communities in which our employee-owners work and live.<\/p>\n

Spearheaded by former Vice President\u00a0Director of Community Relations and NAMC Hall of Fame inductee Charles “Rick” Moore, the Swinerton’s Diversity Program began in 1992 following the Los Angeles Race Riots.\u00a0After the riots, Rick was asked to travel to Los Angeles to engage with the diverse community, and from there, our diversity\u00a0program was born. Over the next 27 years, Rick helped shape the program into what it is today, garnering Â黨ÐÇ¿Õmvnumerous awards and positioning the company as a leader in diversity.<\/p>\n

\n

Our Continued Commitment<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

To\u00a0this day,\u00a0our program continues to evolve with the introduction of new applications and processes.\u00a0Â黨ÐÇ¿Õmvis proud to establish a higher standard of excellence for the construction industry with outreach programs to diverse business enterprises. This is not just an effort that we provide for clients that request this consideration; this is a part of Swinerton\u2019s culture and our commitment our communities.<\/p>\n

Â黨ÐÇ¿Õmvhas 11 regional Community Relations Representatives who plan, implement, and manage our community support, involvement, and outreach with our clients, partners, neighborhoods, agencies, and community-based organizations.\u00a0They reinforce our reputation as a community builder and act as the bridge between various communities and Swinerton.<\/p>\n

We understand that integrity, leadership, passion, and excellence is integral to every aspect of the work we do and the peace of mind we bring\u2014including our commitment to diversity. Our objective is to ensure that the efforts of our program will have a long and lasting impact on the communities in which we live, serve, and belong.<\/p>\n
