DEI maturity and leadership by region

DE&I has gained substantial momentum in both the private and public sectors for a variety of business, social, financial, and competitive reasons. To help organizations better understand DE&I trends, including adoption, benefits, and best practices, AWS teamed up with TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) to develop a wide-ranging quantitative research study—based on responses from 2,000 global business leaders.
