Meritage Homes Announces Commitments to Advance Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Homebuilder plans to drive a culture of greater inclusion, create more career opportunities for the next generation of diverse leaders, and donate $200,000 in 2021 to impactful programs
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Meritage Homes Corporation (NYSE:MTH), the sixth-largest homebuilder in the U.S., today announced diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) commitments with the goal of attracting diverse talent, creating a more inclusive company culture and forming strategic partnerships.
“In order to uphold our core values, we must expand our commitment to DE&I,” said Phillippe Lord, President and CEO of Meritage Homes. “While we have always strived to foster an inclusive culture, we know we still have more work to do. The candidates we recruit, the partnerships we form and the presence of underrepresented groups in our leadership structure are just a few of the areas in which we plan to demonstrate our DE&I promise. We will hold ourselves and our partners accountable to moving the needle. My hope is that by being open about our progress we can continue to drive change both internally and as part of the entire homebuilding sector.”
