DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND BELONGING

We are stronger together. Together is how we build rewarding careers, amazing spaces, and stronger communities.

We believe each of us has the responsibility to engage in courageous conversations, share opinions, and listen with patience and empathy.

Executive Deib Council

Established in 2022 and chaired by CEO Bob Mullen, the Executive DEIB Council is comprised of business unit leadership, corporate services executives, and board members. The group’s goal is to successfully integrate our organization’s DEIB efforts, as led by DISC, with STO Building Group’s mission, operations, strategies, and business objectives. Together, they oversee the company’s diversity efforts, promote accountability, and communicate progress.

Diversity & Inclusion Steering Committee (DISC)

DISC brings together representatives from a diverse group of individuals across our US business units to tackle the challenges of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging and find potential ways to address them, from identifying training and education opportunities to developing our company policies and guidelines.

In 2022, STOBG’s Women in Construction network hosted a variety of fireside chats, table talks, and panels. From LA to NYC, men and women across our organization gathered to hear from internal and external leaders—from women executives to the women who run our project sites—and learn about their careers, their experiences, and the unique challenges facing women in construction today.
