New York City — ABM, a leading provider of integrated facility services, infrastructure solutions and parking management, has announced that its president and CEO, Scott Salmirs, has been awarded the Number 1 spot on the Empower Advocates 2024 Role Model list. This is the second consecutive year Salmirs has been named to the list recognizing leaders dedicated to creating a more inclusive environment for people of color in business.
“Receiving this recognition is an honor I share with our entire team at ABM. Together, we are building an inclusive culture in which every individual can contribute, grow and feel valued,” says Salmirs. “The Advocates Role Model list is particularly important to me, as it focuses on the critical need and value of inclusivity. Barriers persist for people of color to grow and advance, and at ABM, we have the opportunity every day to make a difference.”
With one of the most diverse workforces among all public companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange, ABM has a well-established history of developing organizational priorities that support diverse talent and foster an inclusive workplace. The company’s achievements are a result of implementing a range of initiatives over the years, including the establishment of ABM’s Culture & Inclusion Council, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) known at ABM as Impact Groups, and a robust Supplier Diversity and Small Business Mentor Program. These programs have been instrumental in promoting corporate responsibility across all levels of the organization.
