Google CEO Sundar Pichai has signed a pledge, started by by the Jewish organisation ADL, calling to fight antisemitism at workplaces.
Sharing the link of the ADL statement, Pichai posted on X, “Important to call out and stand against antisemitism at this terrible moment. It’s never acceptable. Proud to sign this commitment to raise awareness and condemn this historic evil.”
“ADL calls on all workplaces to update their policies, procedures, and practices to address antisemitism at work and in society. There has been an increase of antisemitism across the United States and abroad and a surge of antisemitism around the world in the aftermath of the terrorist massacre of more than 1,100 unarmed civilians in Israel,” the ADL statement reads.
“Companies should heed the call of the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism by incorporating antisemitism in DEI efforts, updating religious accommodations, and supporting the development of Jewish employee groups in corporate, non-profit, and government workplaces. As demonstrated by the Shine A Light campaign, workplaces are beginning to recognize the need to address antisemitism, and we ask them to take this pledge,” it adds.
ADL is a Jewish international organisation based in the US that fights antisemitism.
“ADL fights all forms of antisemitism and bias, using innovation and partnerships to drive impact. A global leader in combating antisemitism, countering extremism and battling bigotry wherever and whenever it happens, ADL works to protect democracy and ensure a just and inclusive society for all,” ADL website says.
