Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at Hord Coplan Macht

HCM was founded on principles of fairness, empathy and community, and we take pride in the way our firm culture has always embodied these values. As with everything we do, we are striving to improve, and we realize the need to push forward our tenets and focus our attention even more on anti-racism. We recognize that the legacy of centuries of social and economic injustice continues to afflict our society. We acknowledge that implicit bias and systemic privilege are pervasive issues that need to be tackled in order to achieve meaningful change. We know we must do our part to amplify the voice of communities that have historically been marginalized and discriminated against. We understand that, in order to engage in non-optical allyship, anti-racism must be a consideration in each of our interactions and decisions. There can be no tolerance for any form of racism at any level or in any community.

There is an abundance of resources available to each of us on the history of, and current issues with, civil rights and anti-racism. Our goal is to listen, learn, and do the work required of us as a firm to educate ourselves on the experiences of BIPOC individuals in this country and our profession.

We stand as advocates for missing and marginalized communities. In our profession and as individuals, we aspire to do more to eliminate inequality, support social justice, and change systems built on racism. At HCM, we have always believed that pluralism, through inclusion and advancement of diverse colleagues, inherently makes us a better firm due to the breadth of perspective that comes with it.

Since the firm’s inception more than 40 years ago, equity and inclusion have been at the core of HCM. We seek to continue and build upon the extensive work we do with institutions and non-profit organizations to serve our communities, including collaborations over the years with BIPOC-owned businesses and institutional leaders.

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (“EDI”) Action Team, in partnership with HCM’s senior leadership, is committed to a broad set of actions and initiatives that are intended to produce meaningful change. The mission of the EDI Action Team is to cultivate a diverse environment at HCM; to promote within the field of design, architecture and landscape architecture the participation of underrepresented groups (e.g., based on race, color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity); and to enhance the experience of our colleagues, clients and communities through ever more equitable design practices.

It is with immediacy and humility that we are taking these actions to amplify our efforts in the name of anti-racism.  We are continually striving to create a firm that exemplifies fairness and equity in all that we do. As a firm and as individuals, we are committed to choosing social justice each and every day.
