00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.583
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:05.470 --> 00:00:07.170
<v ->It's such an honor to be here.</v>

3
00:00:07.170 --> 00:00:09.672
I'm Aliya Bhatia and I'm humbled and grateful

4
00:00:09.672 --> 00:00:10.707
to be one of the winners

5
00:00:10.707 --> 00:00:14.580
for the 2022 DEI BCG North America Award.

6
00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:17.070
<v ->I'm Kristin Peck, CEO of Zoetis,</v>

7
00:00:17.070 --> 00:00:18.250
and I'm honored to be among

8
00:00:18.250 --> 00:00:23.250
BCG's 2022 North American DEI Alumni Award winners.

9
00:00:23.266 --> 00:00:25.800
<v ->The BCG award funding</v>

10
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:27.561
will help two incredible organizations

11
00:00:27.561 --> 00:00:29.520
that I have the honor of being part of.

12
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:30.660
One of them is Vot-ER,

13
00:00:30.660 --> 00:00:32.130
which I'm the executive director of.

14
00:00:32.130 --> 00:00:33.870
Our work is to do non-partisan,

15
00:00:33.870 --> 00:00:35.400
healthcare based voter registration.

16
00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:37.320
From my very first day at Vot-ER,

17
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.260
I have been growing and learning in my DEI journey

18
00:00:40.260 --> 00:00:43.410
and helping support others through our mission.

19
00:00:43.410 --> 00:00:46.380
Another organization near and dear to my heart

20
00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:48.350
is a group called Common Good Atlanta.

21
00:00:48.350 --> 00:00:50.850
They teach humanities and English classes

22
00:00:50.850 --> 00:00:52.980
in prisons across metro Atlanta

23
00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:55.770
and it is the closest thing to magic that I have ever seen.

24
00:00:55.770 --> 00:00:57.127
<v ->On behalf of Zoetis,</v>

25
00:00:57.127 --> 00:01:00.360
I am proud to be donating our prize money to Catalyst,

26
00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:03.180
a global nonprofit focused on accelerating progress

27
00:01:03.180 --> 00:01:05.730
for women through workplace inclusion.

28
00:01:05.730 --> 00:01:06.911
As a Board member of Catalyst,

29
00:01:06.911 --> 00:01:09.330
I'm passionate about their work

30
00:01:09.330 --> 00:01:11.550
in helping women create positive impact

31
00:01:11.550 --> 00:01:13.770
to thrive in inclusive workplaces,

32
00:01:13.770 --> 00:01:15.511
free from barriers and biases,

33
00:01:15.511 --> 00:01:18.885
as reflected in equitable pay and representation

34
00:01:18.885 --> 00:01:20.210
at all levels.

35
00:01:20.210 --> 00:01:23.550
There's so much more we can do to improve gender equality

36
00:01:23.550 --> 00:01:26.413
and inclusion across business and society.

37
00:01:26.413 --> 00:01:29.080
