Freddie Mac, a proven leader in diversity and inclusion, was recognized with the Diversity Leader Award from the Profiles in Diversity Journal^®. Now in its 11th year, the award is given to organizations and individual leaders that demonstrate a strong commitment to expanding and improving diversity, inclusion, and equity in the workplace and beyond.

"Companies that are Diversity Leaders continually use the expertise of their diversity team in new ways to help them meet the challenges of today's business environment. In these organizations, the work of the diversity officer is regarded not as a series of programs, but as a strategy for change," Profiles in Diversity Journal said in a press release. "Change has truly become an inherent and integral part of organizational life. And today, the most successful companies in the world rely on their diversity managers and teams to help them respond to this change."

Jacqueline Welch, senior vice president, chief human resources officer and chief diversity officer, along with other winners, will be recognized in the journal's upcoming issue for a "strong commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity in the workplace through the development of comprehensive strategies that permeate all levels, departments, and divisions," said Profiles in Diversity Journal.

Freddie Mac is proud to be recognized as a company that views both challenges and opportunities through the lens of diversity and inclusion to achieve business success.
