Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Business Resource Groups at Edward Jones

Group of Edward Jones associates at Missouri botanical garden.

We are committed to growing our inclusive firm, advancing equity and inviting input from a broad range of perspectives to create more innovation and value, and our Business Resource Groups (BRGs) are one of the ways we bring that commitment to life.

BRGs are firm-sponsored, associate-led affinity groups that contribute to the firm’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion mission. They are integral to the transformation of Edward Jones, and are devoted to professional development and growth, associate recruiting and retention, and community engagement.

In 2009, Edward Jones established the first group — the Black/African American BRG — and today all 12 of our BRGs are available for enterprise-wide membership.

BRG members and allies come together to discuss their unique experiences, provide a space to celebrate shared passions and cultures, and provide co-hosted learning workshops and events year-round.

Participation in any of the BRGs can be as robust as is authentic to each associate. Membership and participation is voluntary. Associates can engage in these groups by sharing insights and knowledge about various cultures or groups, generating ideas to enhance the firm’s ability to attract and deepen a diverse client and associate base, as well as participating in networking and education events.
