Statement on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

At Libretto, we love words—but communication is really about people.

Everyone has a valuable perspective to share and a unique story to tell. We strive to uplift a diversity of voices in our work, and we make a point to partner with organizations who believe, as we do, that the world is stronger, more creative, more sustainable, and more beautiful when everyone has a chance to speak up and be heard.

Libretto is committed to promoting and embracing a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives throughout our practice—both because it’s the right thing to do, and because a more diverse and representative team can produce more insightful, creative, and empathetic work for our clients. As individuals and as a firm, we seek opportunities to expand our understanding of those around us, so that we can promote a workplace culture where everyone feels respected and valued regardless of race, gender, identity, sexual orientation, age, religion, or ability.

We recognize that the composition of our intentionally small team doesn’t reflect the full diversity of our broader community, and we remain committed to a necessary process of education and growth in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. As Libretto evolves, we will continue our efforts to build an equitable and inclusive organization where team members always feel celebrated, supported, and welcomed as their authentic selves.
