Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging
A purpose-driven culture

Our mission
To cultivate a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and belonging environment where all team members are valued and empowered to succeed.
At Aprio, DEIB goes beyond race and gender. It encompasses a broad range of characteristics — age, ethnicity, nationality, and religion to sexual orientation, disability, gender identity, socio-economic background, and so much more.
We are committed to attracting and retaining diverse talent, while fostering an inclusive workforce by removing barriers, providing equitable opportunities, and encouraging our team members to be their authentic selves.
“As the CEO of Aprio, I am proud to make a strong and unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion within our organization and beyond. We value differences and believe that embracing diversity in all its forms is not just the right thing to do, but it also drives innovation, fosters creativity, and creates a more vibrant and inclusive workplace.”
- Richard Kopelman, CEO
