Why we call it inclusion, diversity, and engagement

We lead with inclusion in everything we do. Inclusion is the foundation for how we operate as one unified, global team. As a core value, inclusion strengthens our diversity of backgrounds, styles, and perspectives, and charges our engagement toward reaching our goals. We want everyone who joins Akamai to have their voices heard and to know that they belong here. Our differences brought together to pursue a shared vision are what makes Akamai stronger and more deeply connected with our customers, partners, and communities.
