#ChangeTheFace

#ChangeTheFace is an industry-wide initiative calling on change makers to join and take action to increase diversity and inclusion in tech. For the technology sector to reach its full social and economic potential, it needs to more fairly reflect the world in which we operate. As a collection of some of the world’s largest technology companies, we are all too aware of the bias and lack of diversity in the industry today – from the C-suite to entry-level developers. We need to act quickly to rectify this, as the resulting lack of inclusion affects not just employment but the design of the goods and services that the industry creates. To accelerate change and increase impact, we need to work together as an industry. The #ChangeTheFace Alliance is an informal collective of likeminded thought-leading technology companies who collaborate to make the tech industry a more inclusive place, including Deloitte, Digital Boost, Ericsson, Meta, Founders4Schools, Girl Effect, IBM, ITU, Nokia, Colt, Samsung, UN Women, GSMA and Vodafone. The alliance has worked to create a set of Guiding Principles which set out how we aim to change the face of technology going forward.
