Fueling Local Job Creation
Five Forward Initiative™ Established in 2008, Chicago United’s Five Forward Initiative has joined Chicago corporations together with local minority business enterprises (MBEs), to strengthen the local economy and double the number of job opportunities created by Five Forward MBEs in the Chicagoland area. From 2009 to 2014, 21 Chicago United affiliated companies reported spending more than $350 MM with their selected MBEs, creating a total economic impact of nearly $850 MM.
Motivating Statistics
Inside Inclusion Featuring the Corporate Diversity Profile The Inside Inclusion Featuring the Corporate Diversity Profile reports continue to reveal minimal gains in minority representation throughout executive ranks at Chicago-based companies, making it clear that intentional action is needed now, more than ever. Our research shows that if the growth rate of diverse representation in top executive and managerial positions were to remain the same, it will take 64 years for minorities to achieve parity.
