Our Commitment to Inclusion

At JLS, we don’t just believe in diversity—we invest in it, we protect it, and we celebrate it.

At JLS, we know that innovation doesn’t happen in sameness. Progress doesn’t grow in fear. And excellence doesn’t come from exclusion. We use diversity to drive innovation.

At JLS, we believe in equity for all—for our LGBTQ+ family, for Black and Brown communities, for women in leadership, for people with disabilities, for those of every faith and background, for immigrants, and for anyone who has ever been made to feel “othered” in a space that should have welcomed them.

At JLS, we choose inclusion even when it’s uncomfortable. We choose equity even when it’s challenged. And we choose to lead, not just in our industry, but in our values.

At JLS, we tell everyone that you belong. You matter. And your presence, your identity, your voice—those are your power. And we are honored to walk beside you.

At JLS, we want to help build a community where everyone can thrive and make the world a better place.
