Global Race & Ethnicity Committee (GREC)
The GREC focuses on three key pillars for RX:
1. Employee Education
2. Growing Representation
3. Impacting Communities
The GREC has managed all due diligence and directed RX’s pledge to donate $1 million over the course of five years to select global not-for-profits committed to growing racial equity in communities that RX serves. The committee has directed funds and managed relationships with our nine global not-for-profit partners.
