Abstract: Purpose - This study aims to provide a different view of existing statistics and apply them to a current topic. Design/methodology/approach - This study puts previous literature together in a way that supports a real estate-focused viewpoint. Findings - The build environment can help or hinder diversity in the workplace. Research limitations/implications - Limitations of this study are that it is so macro that there is no direct study involved. The implications are that if companies want to achieve good “S” in ESG scores, they need to think about their real estate in different ways. Practical implications - The implications are that if companies want to achieve good “S” in ESG scores, they need to think about their real estate in different ways. Social implications - People should understand that there are inherent barriers to success built into the system, and value their employer's efforts to ameliorate them accordingly. Originality/value - To my knowledge, no one has approached this issue in this way before. The focus is typically micro, and while there is a lot of research out there focusing on the micro effects or impacts, they are without understanding how the built environment impacts these outcomes.
