RSVP: May 19th, DEI Day
There are new Technical DEI Standards coming! Join us for the 5th Anniversary of the DEI Standard on our first recognition of DEI Day.

DEI Day: The Next Phase of DEI Is “How-To” DEI Everyone talks about “why DEI.” Inclusion Score is focused on “how-to DEI.” On DEI Day, we are explaining how the next phase of DEI implementation will work: through standards, technical service management, certification, audit evidence, and people-risk controls that can be used by companies large and small.
May 19 is recognized as Global DEI Day, commemorating the publication of ISO 30415:2021 — the international guidance standard for Diversity and Inclusion. But guidance is only the beginning.

The next phase of DEI is not another speech about values. It is not another public commitment. It is not another disconnected program sitting inside HR.
The next phase is implementation.
That means organizations need a practical way to translate DEI principles into daily operations: governance, training, documentation, evidence, accountability, audit readiness, supplier expectations, workforce reporting, risk controls, and certification. This is where ISO 30415:DISM — Diversity & Inclusion Service Management — becomes essential.
Inclusion Score has created a technical crosswalk for ISO 30415 and related DEI&B frameworks, including legacy models such as London’s GDEIB. The purpose is to align these materials into a single technical service management model that can be used by Chief Operations Officers, HR Officers, People Officers, auditors, trainers, certifying bodies, and risk professionals.
This is the difference between talking about DEI and deploying DEI.
