Powered by CHEA Global, the Equity Awards celebrates and recognizes the deliberate and sustained efforts of corporations, destinations, organizations, and individuals who exemplify equity in action. Through these awards, we honor those who lead and advocate for more diverse, inclusive and equitable workplaces, industries, destinations, and communities, inspiring others to take meaningful action toward positive, sustainable change in their sphere of influence.
Equity refers to the principle of fairness and justice in the way people are treated and the distribution of resources and opportunities. It involves recognizing and addressing disparities and imbalances to ensure that everyone has access to the same opportunities and outcomes. Unlike equality, which treats everyone the same, equity takes into account the varying needs, circumstances, and challenges faced by individuals or groups, providing them with the specific resources and support they need to achieve fair outcomes.
The Equity Awards play a crucial role in promoting and sustaining DEI efforts. By recognizing and celebrating those who lead the way in equity and inclusion, we not only honor their achievements but also inspire a broader movement towards a more just and equitable world.
Understanding the difference between equality and equity can inform the actions of leaders, decision-makers and policy makers. In essence, while equality aims for uniformity, equity strives for fairness by addressing individual needs and circumstances to achieve balanced and just outcomes.
