We strive to create and sustain a sense of belonging and to nurture our ability to build bridges.

We acknowledge that the role of global trade in PEM’s predecessor organizations warrants careful consideration.

Everyone at PEM has a role to play in bringing this commitment to life. We will use this commitment statement as a guide in our ongoing work, which includes sharing the accomplishments, setbacks, and challenges of our DEIA journey.
