Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Our Core Values
Discovery
We seek new sources of value. A deep curiosity to learn and willingness to seek out diverse perspectives enhance our ability to solve challenges and generate ideas - big and small. Value is delivered when we have the courage to explore opportunities; consider their impact on our colleagues, customers, and the broader ecosystem; and drive purposeful action.
Partnership
We form new connections for impact. We’re in this together. We stand by each other and prioritize our people’s, our markets’, our communities’, and our customers’ success. When we do what we say we will and invite, offer, and support challenges to our own points of view, we cultivate an environment of mutual respect and trust.
Integrity
We do what’s right. Every word or decision can have far-reaching impacts. We are honest with ourselves and each other, recognize the personal biases that could result in inequitable outcomes and consider how our actions could impact our reputation. Sharing stories about how we live our values every day strengthens our collective understanding and the ethical fabric of our organization.
S&P Global
At the core of our intelligence is our people. We work to make every colleague feel valued and respected for who they are and for the essential contributions they make to our company. Inclusion is critical to our business success and our understanding of the world around us.

which aims to explore underrepresented questions in diversity research by pairing S&P Global’s data and analysis with insights from external think tanks, research organizations and academic institutions.
Products and Services
Accessibility is a key component of inclusion. Across our various divisions, we are working to create products and services that are accessible to all our customers. In these efforts, we are proud to partner with our People Resource Groups (PRGs). Through our joint efforts to improve accessibility, we aim to continue to shape how we create and design our products.
